Isaiah 2:12; Joel 1:15; Zephaniah 1:7

12  fFor the Lord of hosts has a day

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted upand it shall be brought low;


15  Alas for the day!

bFor the day of the Lord is near,

and as destruction from the Almighty1 it comes.


The Day of the Lord Is Near

mBe silent before the Lord God!

For nthe day of the Lord is near;

othe Lord has prepared a sacrifice

and pconsecrated his guests.
