³ What will you do on the day of punishment
when devastation comes from far away?
Who will you run to for help?
Where will you leave your wealth?

⁵ They are coming from a far land,
from the distant horizon—
the Lord and the weapons of His wrath—
to destroy the whole country.^[a]

²⁷ Look, Yahweh^[a] comes from far away,
His anger burning and heavy with smoke.^[b]
His lips are full of fury,
and His tongue is like a consuming fire.

¹⁶ Warn the nations: Look!
Proclaim to Jerusalem:
Those who besiege are coming
from a distant land;^(A)
they raise their voices
against the cities of Judah.
