It is close at hand^(E)—

¹¹ The Lord^(A) thunders^(B)
    at the head of his army;^(C)
his forces are beyond number,
    and mighty is the army that obeys his command.

    it is dreadful.
    Who can endure it?^(E)

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

    it will come like destruction^(C) from the Almighty.^[a](D)

⁹ See, the day^(A) of the Lord is coming
    —a cruel^(B) day, with wrath^(C) and fierce anger^(D)—
to make the land desolate

¹⁰ But that day^(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance^(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour^(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.^(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice^(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.^(F)

    “Alas for that day!”
³ For the day is near,^(B)

a day of clouds,
    a time of doom for the nations.
