who say, Let him speedily hasten what he will do, that we may see [it]; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel come, that we may know [it].

Because you have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us; we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected.

And I will cause judgment [to be] for hope, and My compassion shall be for [just] measures, and you that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]; for the storm shall by no means pass by you,

Whenever it shall pass by, it shall overtake you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope.

The Lord shall rise up as [against] a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gibeon; He shall perform His works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and His wrath shall deal strangely, and His destruction shall be strange.

Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, [and] the vision has perished?

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

Behold, I send forth My messenger, and he shall survey the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, He is coming, says the Lord Almighty.

And who will abide the day of His coming? Or who will withstand at His appearing? For He is coming in as the fire of a furnace and as the herb of fullers.

and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers died, all things continue as from the beginning of creation."

And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.

The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burned by fire; no man shall pity his brother.

There is a howling for the wine everywhere; all the mirth of the land has ceased, all the mirth of the land has departed.

And cities shall be left desolate, and houses being left shall fall to ruin.

For that day is great, and there is none like it; and it is a time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Alas, Alas, Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and it will come as trouble upon trouble.

Sound the trumpet in Zion, make a proclamation in My holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded; for the day of the Lord is near;

for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist; a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been one like it from the beginning, and after it there shall not be again, even to the years of many generations.

Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

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.

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 clouds and vapor,

For behold, a day comes burning as an oven, and it shall consume them; and all the aliens, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty, and there shall not be left of them root or branch.

But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, burning with heat, shall be dissolved, both the earth and the works that are in it shall be burned up.
