14  The great day of YHWH is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the YHWH, wherein the mighty man crieth bitterly.

14  For the great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and very speedy; the sound of the day of the Lord is made bitter and harsh.

14  The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and exceedingly swift. The voice of the day of the Lord is bitter; the strong will be tested there.

15  That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

15  A mighty day of wrath is that day, a day of affliction and distress, a day of desolation and destruction, a day of gloominess and darkness, a day of cloud and vapour,

16  A day of the horn and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high towers.

16  a day of the trumpet and the trumpet blast over fortified cities and over exalted ramparts.

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

17  And I will trouble men, and they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord. And their blood will be poured out like soil, and their bodies like manure.

18  Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of YHWH'S wrath; but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy; for He will make and end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the earth.

18  And their silver and their gold shall in nowise be able to rescue them in the day of the Lord’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealously; for he will bring a speedy destruction on all them that inhabit the land.
