Thrust ye in the vintage knife, for, grown ripe, is the vintage, - Go in, tread down, for full is the winepress, flow over do the vats, for abundant is their wickedness.

Multitudes, multitudes, in the vale of strict decision, - for near is the day of Yahweh, in the vale of strict decision.

The sun and the moon, have become dark, - and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining,

And, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble, - but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons of Israel.
