15 That day will be a day of anger. It will be a day of terror and trouble. It will be a day of destruction and ruin. It will be a day of darkness and gloom. It will be a day of clouds and blackness.

16 It will be a day of alarms and battle cries. ‘Attack the strong, walled cities! Attack the corner towers!’

17 I will make life hard on the people. They will walk around like blind men. This is because they have sinned against the Lord. Their blood will be poured out like dust. And their bodies will be dumped like trash.
