²³ therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the days, And spoken hath every vision.

¹⁴ Near `is' the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek there doth a mighty one.

¹ Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for `it is' near!

⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

⁹ murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

³⁴ Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass.

¹ For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch,

³ I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.

²⁵ For I `am' Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak -- it is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹⁰ Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning, Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride.

¹¹ The violence hath risen to a rod of wickedness, There is none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor is there wailing for them.

¹² Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For wrath `is' unto all its multitude.

⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath come.

⁶ An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee, lo, it hath come.

⁷ Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land! Come hath the time, near `is' a day of trouble, And not the shouting of mountains.

² An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land.

²² And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Is' for all the land.

¹³ The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day cometh.
