The Great Day of the Lord

2 “I will1 utterly consume everything
From the face of the land,”
Says the Lord; 
3 “Ia will consume man and beast;
I will consume the birds of the heavens,
The fish of the sea,
And the1 stumbling blocks along with the wicked.
I will cut off man from the face of the1 land,”
Says the Lord. 
4 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah,
And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
1I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place,
The names of the aidolatrous priests with the pagan priests— 
5 Those awho worship the host of heaven on the housetops;
Those who worship and swear oaths by the Lord,
But who also swear bby Milcom; 
6 aThose who have turned back from following the Lord,
And bhave not sought the Lord, nor inquired of Him.” 
7 aBe silent in the presence of the Lord God;
bFor the day of the Lord is at hand,
For cthe Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
He has1 invited His guests. 
8 “And it shall be,
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel. 
9 In the same day I will punish
All those who aleap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit. 
10 “And there shall be on that day,” says the Lord,
“The sound of a mournful cry from athe Fish Gate,
A wailing from the Second Quarter,
And a loud crashing from the hills. 
11 aWail, you inhabitants of1 Maktesh!
For all the merchant people are cut down;
All those who handle money are cut off. 
12 “And it shall come to pass at that time
That I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
And punish the men
Who are asettled in complacency,
bWho say in their heart,
‘The Lord will not do good,
Nor will He do evil.’ 
13 Therefore their goods shall become booty,
And their houses a desolation;
They shall build houses, but not inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards, but anot drink their wine.” 
14 aThe great day of the Lord is near;
It is near and hastens quickly.
The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter;
There the mighty men shall cry out. 
15 aThat day is a day of wrath,
A day of trouble and distress,
A day of devastation and desolation,
A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness, 
16 A day of atrumpet and alarm
Against the fortified cities
And against the high towers. 
17 “I will bring distress upon men,
And they shall awalk like blind men,
Because they have sinned against the Lord;
Their blood shall be poured out like dust,
And their flesh like refuse.” 
18 aNeither their silver nor their gold
Shall be able to deliver them
In the day of the Lord’s wrath;
But the whole land shall be devoured
By the fire of His jealousy,
For He will make speedy riddance
Of all those who dwell in the land.
