Scream in terror, for the day of the Lord has arrived— the time for the Almighty to destroy.

For see, the day of the Lord is coming— the terrible day of his fury and fierce anger. The land will be made desolate, and all the sinners destroyed with it.

For it is the day of the Lord 's revenge, the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.

For this is the day of the Lord, the Lord of Heaven's Armies, a day of vengeance on his enemies. The sword will devour until it is satisfied, yes, until it is drunk with your blood! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven's Armies, will receive a sacrifice today in the north country beside the Euphrates River.

"You have invited terrors from all around, as though you were calling them to a day of feasting. In the day of the Lord 's anger, no one has escaped or survived. The enemy has killed all the children whom I carried and raised."

"They will throw their money in the streets, tossing it out like worthless trash. Their silver and gold won't save them on that day of the Lord 's anger. It will neither satisfy nor feed them, for their greed can only trip them up.

They have done nothing to repair the breaks in the walls around the nation. They have not helped it to stand firm in battle on the day of the Lord .

for the terrible day is almost here— the day of the Lord ! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations.
