Let all who live in the land tremble,
    for the day of the Lord^(D) is coming.
It is close at hand^(E)—

¹¹ The Lord^(A) thunders^(B)
    at the head of his army;^(C)
his forces are beyond number,
    and mighty is the army that obeys his command.
The day of the Lord is great;^(D)
    it is dreadful.
    Who can endure it?^(E)

¹⁴ Multitudes,^(A) multitudes
    in the valley^(B) of decision!
For the day of the Lord^(C) is near
    in the valley of decision.^(D)

¹⁴ The great day of the Lord^(A) is near^(B)—
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
