13“Moreover, their wealth will become plunder
         And their houses desolate;
         Yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them,
         And plant vineyards but not drink their wine.”

14Near is the great day of the LORD,
         Near and coming very quickly;
         Listen, the day of the LORD!
         In it the warrior cries out bitterly.

15A day of wrath is that day,
         A day of trouble and distress,
         A day of destruction and desolation,
         A day of darkness and gloom,
         A day of clouds and thick darkness,

16A day of trumpet and battle cry
         Against the fortified cities
         And the high corner towers.

17I will bring distress on men
         So that they will walk like the blind,
         Because they have sinned against the LORD;
         And their blood will be poured out like dust
         And their flesh like dung.

18Neither their silver nor their gold
         Will be able to deliver them
         On the day of the LORD’S wrath;
         And all the earth will be devoured
         In the fire of His jealousy,
         For He will make a complete end,
         Indeed a terrifying one,
         Of all the inhabitants of the earth.
