²⁰ Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord’s] wrath is past.

²¹ For behold, the Lord is coming out of His place [heaven] to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also will disclose the blood shed upon her and will no longer cover her slain and conceal her guilt.

34 Come near, you nations, to hear; and hearken, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that come forth from it.

² For the Lord is indignant against all nations, and His wrath is against all their host. He has utterly doomed them, He has given them over to slaughter.

³ Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies shall rise, and the mountains shall flow with their blood.

⁴ All the host of the heavens shall be dissolved and crumble away, and the skies shall be rolled together like a scroll; and all their host [the stars and the planets] shall drop like a faded leaf from the vine, and like a withered fig from the fig tree.^(A)

⁸ For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense, for the cause of Zion.

¹⁶ And they called to the mountains and the rocks, Fall on (before) us and hide us from the face of Him Who sits on the throne and from the ^[a]deep-seated indignation and wrath of the Lamb.^(A)

¹⁷ For the great day of His wrath (vengeance, retribution, indignation) has come, and who is able to stand before it?^(A)
