Zephaniah 1:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick black clouds,(A)
16 A day of trumpet blasts and battle cries
against fortified cities,
against lofty battlements.(B)
17 I will hem the people in
till they walk like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
And their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their bowels like dung.
