Zephaniah 1:14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord is near,
    near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter,
    the mighty man cries aloud there.
¹⁵ A day of wrath is that day,
    a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
    a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
¹⁶     a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
    and against the lofty battlements.
