Zephaniah’s Description of the Day of the Lord
14 “The great Day of the Lord approaches—
How it comes, hurrying faster and faster!
The sound of the Day of the Lord there
includes the bitter cry of the mighty soldier.
15 That day will be filled with wrath,
a day of trouble and tribulation,
a day of desolation and devastation,
a day of doom and gloom,
a day of clouds and shadows,[a]
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry
against fortified cities and watch[b] towers.

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)
