6

And those who have  aturnedh5472 backh5472 from followingh310 the LORDh3068, And those whoh834 have  bnot soughth1245 the LORDh3068 or inquiredh1875 of Him."

 1 aBe silenth2013 beforeh4480h6440 the Lordh136  2GODh3068! For the  bdayh3117 of the LORDh3068 is nearh7138, For the LORDh3068 has preparedh3559 a  csacrificeh2077, He has  dconsecratedh6942 His guestsh7121.

"Then it will comeh1961 about on the dayh3117 of the LORD'Sh3068 sacrificeh2077 That I will  apunishh6485 the princesh8269, the king'sh4428 sonsh1121 And allh3605 who clotheh3847 themselves with  bforeignh5237 garmentsh4403.

"And I will punishh6485 on that dayh3117 allh3605 who leaph1801 on the temple thresholdh4670, Who fillh4390 the househ1004 of their  1lordh113 with  aviolenceh2555 and deceith4820.

"On that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "There will be the soundh6963 of a cryh6818 from the  aFishh1709 Gateh8179, A wailh3215 from the  1 bSecondh4932 Quarter, And a loudh1419 crashh7667 from the  chillsh1389.

11

"Wailh3213, O inhabitantsh3427 of the  1Mortarh4389, For allh3605 the  2peopleh5971a of  aCanaanh3667a will be silencedh1820; Allh3605 who weighh5187 out  bsilverh3701 will be cuth3772 offh3772.

12

"It will comeh1961 about at that timeh6256 That I will  asearchh2664 Jerusalemh3389 with lampsh5216, And I will punishh6485 the menh376 Who are  1 bstagnanth7087a in spirith8105, Who sayh559 in their heartsh3824, `The LORDh3068 will  cnot doh3190 goodh3190 or evilh7489a!'

13

"Moreover, their wealthh2428 will becomeh1961  aplunderh4933 And their housesh1004 desolateh8077; Yes,  bthey will buildh1129 housesh1004 but not inhabith3427 them, And planth5193 vineyardsh3754 but not drinkh8354 their wineh3196."

14

Nearh7138 is the  agreath1419  bdayh3117 of the LORDh3068, Nearh7138 and comingh4118a veryh3966 quicklyh4118a; Listenh6963, the dayh3117 of the LORDh3068!  1In it the warriorh1368  ccriesh6873 out bitterlyh4751.

15

A dayh3117 of wrathh5678 is that dayh3117, A dayh3117 of  atroubleh6869a and distressh4691, A dayh3117 of destructionh7724b and desolationh4875, A dayh3117 of  bdarknessh2822 and gloomh653, A dayh3117 of cloudsh6051 and thickh6205 darknessh6205,

16

A dayh3117 of  atrumpeth7782 and battleh8643 cryh8643 Againsth5921 the  bfortifiedh1219 citiesh5892b And the highh1364 cornerh6438 towersh6438.

17

I will bringh6887a  adistressh6887a on menh120 So that they will walkh1980  blike the blindh5787, Becauseh3588 they have sinnedh2398 against the LORDh3068; And their  cbloodh1818 will be pouredh8210 out like dusth6083 And their  dfleshh3894 like dungh1557.

18

Neitherh1571h3808 their  asilverh3701 norh1571 their goldh2091 Will be ableh3201 to deliverh5337 them On the dayh3117 of the LORD'Sh3068 wrathh5678; And  ballh3605 the earthh776 will be devouredh398 In the fireh784 of His jealousyh7068, For He will  cmakeh6213a a completeh3617 endh3617, Indeedh389 a terrifyingh926 one, Of allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of the earthh776.
