Zephaniah 1:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ The Lord’s special day for judging is coming soon! It is near and coming fast. People will hear very sad sounds on the Lord’s special day of judgment. Even strong soldiers will cry. ¹⁵ The Lord will show his anger at that time. It will be a time of terrible troubles and a time of destruction. It will be a time of darkness—a black, cloudy, and stormy day. ¹⁶ It will be like a time of war when people hear horns and trumpets in the defense towers and protected cities.
