14 “The ·Lord’s day of judging [great day of the Lord; 1:7] is ·coming soon [near];

·‘Attack [or …against] the ·strong, walled [fortified] cities!
·Attack [or …against] the corner towers!’

New International Version
14 The great day of the Lord(A) is near(B)—
near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness(C) and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness(D)—
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry(E)
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.(F)
