The Lord will terrify them, for he will weaken all the gods of the earth. All the distant nations will worship the Lord in their own lands.

Her prophets are proud; they are deceitful men. Her priests defile what is holy; they break God’s laws.

That day will be a day of God’s anger, a day of distress and hardship, a day of devastation and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and dark skies,

before God’s decree becomes reality and the day of opportunity disappears like windblown chaff, before the Lord’s raging anger overtakes you – before the day of the Lord’s angry judgment overtakes you!

On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with wealth taken by violence and deceit.
