Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD; For the day of the LORD [is] at hand, For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has invited His guests.

Alas! For that day [is] great, So that none [is] like it; And it [is] the time of Jacob's trouble, But he shall be saved out of it.

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.

Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:

The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong [is the One] who executes His word. For the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; Who can endure it?

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

"For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

An end has come, The end has come; It has dawned for you; Behold, it has come!

Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land; The time has come, A day of trouble [is] near, And not of rejoicing in the mountains.

The time has come, The day draws near. 'Let not the buyer rejoice, Nor the seller mourn, For wrath [is] on their whole multitude.

"Tell them therefore, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel." But say to them, "The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me: "The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand.

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

"And there shall be on that day," says the LORD, "The sound of a mournful cry from the Fish Gate, A wailing from the Second Quarter, And a loud crashing from the hills.

Therefore I said, "Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people."

For [it is] a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision -- Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.

The sound of noise from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the LORD, Who fully repays His enemies!

A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a wailing of the leaders to the flock [will be heard.] For the LORD has plundered their pasture,

The LORD gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong [is the One] who executes His word. For the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; Who can endure it?

The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."

Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out, Their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz; Therefore the armed soldiers of Moab will cry out; His life will be burdensome to him.

Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

Kerioth is taken, And the strongholds are surprised; The mighty men's hearts in Moab on that day shall be Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,

"For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
