¹⁶ a day of rams’ horns and battle cries
    against the fortified cities
        and against the high corner towers.
¹⁷ “I will bring such distress on humans that they will walk like they are blind,
    because they have sinned against Yahweh.”
    Their blood will be poured out like dust
    and their intestines like manure.
¹⁸ Their silver and their gold will not be able to rescue them
    on the day of Yahweh’s overflowing fury.
    The whole earth will be consumed by his fiery anger,
    because he will put an end, a frightening end,
        to those who live on earth.
