For a day is near; a day belonging to the Lord is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

因为耶和华的日子临近，就是密云之日，列国受罚之期。

因为日子近了，耶和华的日子临近了；那是密云之日，是列国受罚之期。

因为日子近了，耶和华的日子临近了；那是密云之日，是列国受罚之期。

因为日子近了，耶和华的日子近了，那是乌云密布的日子，列国沦亡的时候。

因为那一天临近了，耶和华的日子临近了，就是密云的日子，列国受罚的时候。

因為耶和華的日子臨近，就是密雲之日，列國受罰之期。

因為日子近了，耶和華的日子臨近了；那是密雲之日，是列國受罰之期。

因為日子近了，耶和華的日子臨近了；那是密雲之日，是列國受罰之期。

因為日子近了，耶和華的日子近了，那是烏雲密佈的日子，列國淪亡的時候。

因為那一天臨近了，耶和華的日子臨近了，就是密雲的日子，列國受罰的時候。

因為那日臨近了，永恆主之日臨近了；那將會是個密雲之日，列國受罰的時候。

其日伊邇、耶和華之日將屆、乃密雲之日、異邦之期、

其日伊邇、晦冥慘淡、耶和華降災於異邦、其日伊適、

其日伊邇、主之日速至、乃密雲之日、列國受罰之時、

For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near— a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

The day is near. The day of the Lord is coming. It will be a cloudy day. The nations have been sentenced to die.

For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near; it will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

for the terrible day is almost here— the day of the Lord! It is a day of clouds and gloom, a day of despair for the nations.

For a day is near; a day belonging to the LORD is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

For the day is near, Indeed, the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, A time of doom for the nations.

For the day is near, Even the day of the Lord is near; It will be a day of clouds, the time of the Gentiles.

For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

For the day[ is] near, even the day of the LORD[ is] near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

For the day is near, the day of the LORD is near; it will be a day of storm clouds, it will be a time of judgment for the nations.

For the day is near, even Yahweh’s day is near. It will be a day of clouds, a time of the nations.

For the Day of the Lord is near, against all the nations. As you have done, so it will be done to you; what you deserve will return on your own head.

The day will be dark in Tehaphnehes, when I break the yoke of Egypt there and its proud strength comes to an end in the city. A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes, and its villages will go into captivity.

As a shepherd looks for his sheep on the day he is among his scattered flock, so I will look for My flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

Doom has come on you, inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near. There will be panic on the mountains and not celebration.

The time has come; the day has arrived. Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, for wrath is on all her masses.

The great Day of the Lord is near, near and rapidly approaching. Listen, the Day of the Lord— then the warrior’s cry is bitter.

I have cut off nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have laid waste their streets, with no one to pass through. Their cities lie devastated, without a person, without an inhabitant.I thought: You will certainly fear Me and accept correction. Then her dwelling place would not be cut off based on all that I had allocated to her. However, they became more corrupt in all their actions.

When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

Blow the horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the residents of the land tremble, for the Day of the Lord is coming; in fact, it is near—a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and dense overcast, like the dawn spreading over the mountains; a great and strong people appears, such as never existed in ages past and never will again in all the generations to come.

Therefore Yahweh, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says: There will be wailing in all the public squares; they will cry out in anguish in all the streets. The farmer will be called on to mourn, and professional mourners to wail.There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass among you. The Lord has spoken.Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord! What will the Day of the Lord be for you? It will be darkness and not light.It will be like a man who flees from a lion only to have a bear confront him. He goes home and rests his hand against the wall only to have a snake bite him.Won’t the Day of the Lord be darkness rather than light, even gloom without any brightness in it?

Be silent in the presence of the Lord God, for the Day of the Lord is near. Indeed, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated His guests.

Then the Lord will go out to fight against those nations as He fights on a day of battle.On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to the north and half to the south.You will flee by My mountain valley, for the valley of the mountains will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come and all the holy ones with Him.On that day there will be no light; the sunlight and moonlight will diminish.It will be a day known only to Yahweh, without day or night, but there will be light at evening.On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea, in summer and winter alike.On that day Yahweh will become King over all the earth— Yahweh alone, and His name alone.All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be changed into a plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain on its site from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.People will live there, and never again will there be a curse of complete destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell in security.This will be the plague the Lord strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.On that day a great panic from the Lord will be among them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will rise against the other.Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.The same plague as the previous one will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that are in those camps.Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.Should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, rain will not fall on them.And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the Lord inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.This will be the punishment of Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.

Woe because of that day! For the Day of the Lord is near and will come as devastation from the Almighty.

On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven above and kings of the earth below.They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon; after many days they will be punished.The moon will be put to shame and the sun disgraced, because the Lord of Hosts will reign as king on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and He will display His glory in the presence of His elders.

The Lord is angry with all the nations— furious with all their armies. He will set them apart for destruction, giving them over to slaughter.Their slain will be thrown out, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.All the heavenly bodies will dissolve. The skies will roll up like a scroll, and their stars will all wither as leaves wither on the vine, and foliage on the fig tree.When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, it will then come down on Edom and on the people I have set apart for destruction.The Lord’s sword is covered with blood. It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.The wild oxen will be struck down with them, and young bulls with the mighty bulls. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil will be saturated with fat.For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a time of paying back Edom for its hostility against Zion.Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch, her soil into sulfur; her land will become burning pitch.It will never go out— day or night. Its smoke will go up forever. It will be desolate, from generation to generation; no one will pass through it forever and ever.The desert owl and the screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and the raven will dwell there. The Lord will stretch out a measuring line and a plumb line over her for her destruction and chaos.No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns; her fortified cities, with thistles and briers. She will become a dwelling for jackals, an abode for ostriches.The desert creatures will meet hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. Indeed, the screech owl will stay there and will find a resting place for herself.The sand partridge will make her nest there; she will lay and hatch her eggs and will gather her brood under her shadow. Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there, each with its mate.Search and read the scroll of the Lord: Not one of them will be missing, none will be lacking its mate, because He has ordered it by my mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.He has ordained a lot for them; His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.

This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me:“ Take this cup of the wine of wrath from My hand and make all the nations I am sending you to, drink from it.They will drink, stagger, and go out of their minds because of the sword I am sending among them.”So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, everyone the Lord sent me to.These included: Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah, its kings and its officials, to make them a desolate ruin, an object of scorn and cursing— as it is today;Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officers, his leaders, all his people,and all the mixed peoples; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines— Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands across the sea;Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who shave their temples;all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed peoples who have settled in the desert;all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;all the kings of the north, both near and far from one another; that is, all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Finally, the king of Sheshach will drink after them.“ Then you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, as a result of the sword I am sending among you.If they refuse to take the cup from you and drink, you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: You must drink!For I am already bringing disaster on the city that bears My name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth”— this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.

It came between the Egyptian and Israelite forces. The cloud was there in the darkness, yet it lit up the night. So neither group came near the other all night long.

Then during the morning watch, the Lord looked down on the Egyptian forces from the pillar of fire and cloud, and threw them into confusion.

In the same way, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near— at the door!

Come quickly, all you surrounding nations; gather yourselves. Bring down Your warriors there, Lord.Let the nations be roused and come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the surrounding nations.Swing the sickle because the harvest is ripe. Come and trample the grapes because the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because the wickedness of the nations is great.Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem like something filthy. Their silver and gold will be unable to save them in the day of the Lord’s wrath. They will not satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs, for these were the stumbling blocks that brought about their iniquity.

Brothers, do not complain about one another, so that you will not be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door!

He will judge the nations, heaping up corpses; He will crush leaders over the entire world.

inflicting vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,binding their kings with chains and their dignitaries with iron shackles,carrying out the judgment decreed against them. This honor is for all His godly people. Hallelujah!

because the great day of Their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?”

The Lord laughs at him because He sees that his day is coming.

Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

An oracle against Egypt: Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. Egypt’s idols will tremble before Him, and Egypt’s heart will melt within it.

He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is the Word of God.The armies that were in heaven followed Him on white horses, wearing pure white linen.A sharp sword came from His mouth, so that He might strike the nations with it. He will shepherd them with an iron scepter. He will also trample the winepress of the fierce anger of God, the Almighty.And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.Then I saw an angel standing on the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying high overhead,“ Come, gather together for the great supper of God,so that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of their riders, and the flesh of everyone, both free and slave, small and great.”Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and against His army.But the beast was taken prisoner, and along with him the false prophet, who had performed the signs in his presence. He deceived those who accepted the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image with these signs. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.The rest were killed with the sword that came from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

I will make the land of Egypt a desolation among desolate lands, and its cities will be a desolation among ruined cities for 40 years. I will disperse the Egyptians among the nations and scatter them across the countries.
