15  Alas for the day!

^bFor the day of the Lord is near,

and as destruction from the Almighty¹ it comes.

1  ^jBlow a trumpet in ^kZion;

sound an alarm on ^kmy holy mountain!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,

for ^lthe day of the Lord is coming; it is near,

11  ^cThe Lord utters his voice

before ^dhis army,

for his camp is exceedingly great;

^ehe who executes his word is powerful.

^fFor the day of the Lord is ^ggreat and very awesome;

^hwho can endure it?

14  Multitudes, multitudes,

in the valley of decision!

For ^bthe day of the Lord is near

in the valley of decision.
