The Lord will arise as He did in ancient times.¹ He sits on high and passes sentence upon the nations.² He will stand up and judge the world ³ and all the wicked will perish.⁴

The Lord has ready sealed up in His storehouse His punishment to use against His enemies.⁵ On that Day, the sun will shine with seven times its normal strength and the moon will shine with the brightness of the sun.⁶ Then the sun will turn to darkness and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath.⁷

News of this coming disaster reaches us, our arms are powerless and agony grips us like a woman in labour. Outside is terror, for in an instant the Destroyer is upon us.⁸ People are limp with fear and they wet their pants in fright.⁹

Nations  are ready to attack, but no one goes to war, as their preparations have triggered the wrath of the Lord.¹⁰ The enemy has prepared his weapons, but it is upon himself that his deadly shafts tipped with fire will recoil.¹¹ As the fire consumes the stubble and flames burn up the chaff, they will disappear like fine dust.¹² The horde of your enemies will crumble into powder. Suddenly, in an instant, punishment will come from the Lord with thunder, earthquakes and flames of devouring fire ¹³ and the sky will disperse like smoke with a great rushing sound. ¹⁴

The Day comes, burning like a furnace, all evildoers will be as stubble, that Day sets them ablaze.¹⁵ The Lord comes in fire, like a whirlwind bringing retribution in His furious anger of flaming fire. He will judge all mankind and many will be slain by Him.¹⁶ Furiously the Lord traverses the earth, in His anger He tramples down the nations.¹⁷ Evil people will die, they will be incinerated and go up in smoke.¹⁸ The Lord will destroy humans and animals, dire distress will come upon the sinful peoples, their blood and guts will spill out on the ground.¹⁹ Corpses will fall and lie like swaths behind the reaper,²⁰ those who the Lord kills on that Day will lie scattered from one end of the world to the other. They will be as dung upon the earth.²¹    Ref. REB. Some verses abridged.
