The Terror of the Day of the Lord

6

Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie.

7

Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt,

8

And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire.

9

Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it.

10

For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.

11

And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants.

12

I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir.

13

Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger.

14

And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande.

15

Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde.

16

Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished.
