Hear the noise on the mountains!
    Listen, as the vast armies march!
It is the noise and shouting of many nations.
    The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has called this army together.
They come from distant countries,
    from beyond the farthest horizons.
They are the Lord’s weapons to carry out his anger.
    With them he will destroy the whole land.

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

The Lord Almighty(C) is mustering(D)
    an army for war.
They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens(E)
the Lord and the weapons(F) of his wrath(G)
    to destroy(H) the whole country.

Wail,(I) for the day(J) of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction(K) from the Almighty.[a](L)
