The Day of Yahweh is Near

Blow the trumpet[a] in Zion,
    and sound the alarm on my holy mountain![b]
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
    for the day of Yahweh is coming
        it is indeed near.
A day of darkness and gloom,
    a day of cloud and thick darkness,
like the dawn spreads on the mountains,
    a great and strong army!
There has been nothing like it from old,
    and after it nothing will be again for generations to come.[c]
