Zephaniah 1:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵That day will be a day of wrath,
    a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
    a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
¹⁶    a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
    and against the lofty battlements.

¹⁷I will bring such distress upon people
    that they shall walk like the blind;
    because they have sinned against the Lord,
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
    and their flesh like dung.
