Zephaniah 1:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord is near.
    In fact, it is coming quickly.
The cries on that day are bitter.
    The Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
¹⁵ At that time I will pour out my anger.
    There will be great suffering and pain.
It will be a day of horrible trouble.
    It will be a time of darkness and gloom.
    It will be filled with the blackest clouds.
¹⁶ Trumpet blasts and battle cries will be heard.
    Soldiers will attack cities
    that have forts and corner towers.
