For the day of the Lord is coming;

Indeed, it is near,

1Blow a trumpet in Zion,

And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,

For the day of the Lord is coming;

Surely it is near,

1Blow the trumpet in Zion [warning of impending judgment],

Sound an alarm on My holy mountain [Zion]!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble and shudder in fear,

For the [judgment] day of the Lord is coming;

It is close at hand, [Ezek 7:2-4; Amos 5:16-20]

1Blow the ram’s horn in Zion;

sound the alarm on My holy mountain!

Let all who dwell in the land tremble,

for the Day of the Lord is coming;

1Priests, blow the trumpets in Zion.

Give a warning on my holy mountain.

Let everyone who lives in the land tremble with fear.

The day of the Lord is coming.

It is very near.
