1:15 That day will be a day of God’s anger, ¹ 

a day of distress and hardship,

a day of devastation and ruin,

a day of darkness and gloom,

a day of clouds and dark skies,

1:17 I will bring distress on the people ² 

and they will stumble ³  like blind men,

for they have sinned against the Lord.

Their blood will be poured out like dirt;

their flesh ⁴  will be scattered ⁵  like manure.

1:18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them

in the day of the Lord’s angry judgment.

The whole earth ⁶  will be consumed by his fiery wrath. ⁷ 

Indeed, ⁸  he will bring terrifying destruction ⁹  on all who live on the earth.” ¹⁰
