^{6 Ref} Howl ye, for near `is' the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.

^{7 Ref} Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.

^{8 Ref} And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames -- their faces!

^{9 Ref} Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.
