Zephaniah 1:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord
    is coming soon, very soon.
On that terrible day,
fearsome shouts of warriors
    will be heard everywhere.
¹⁵ It will be a time of anger—
    of trouble and torment,
of disaster and destruction,
    of darkness and despair,
of storm clouds and shadows,
¹⁶ of trumpet calls
    and battle cries
against fortified cities
    and mighty fortresses.
