7  ^mBe silent before the Lord God!

For ⁿthe day of the Lord is near;

^othe Lord has prepared a sacrifice

and ^pconsecrated his guests.

14  ^dThe great day of the Lord is near,

near and hastening fast;

the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;

^ethe mighty man cries aloud there.

16  ⁱa day of trumpet blast and battle cry

^jagainst the fortified cities

and against the lofty battlements.
