⁷ ‘Alas! for that ^(A)day is great,
There is ^(B)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s ^(C)distress,
But he will be ^(D)saved from it.

^15 (A)Alas for the day!
For the ^(B)day of the Lord is near,
And it will come as ^(C)destruction from the ^[a]Almighty.

2 ^(A)Blow a trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the ^(B)day of the Lord is coming;
Surely it is near,

³¹ “The ^(A)sun will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the ^(B)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

^14 (A)Multitudes, multitudes in the ^(B)valley of ^[a]decision!
For the ^(C)day of the Lord is near in the valley of ^[b]decision.
