Zephaniah 1:16 in Context — Zephaniah 1
14 Le grand jour de l’Éternel est proche, Il est proche, il arrive en toute hâte; Le jour de l’Éternel fait entendre sa voix, Et le héros pousse des cris amers.
15 Ce jour est un jour de fureur, Un jour de détresse et d’angoisse, Un jour de ravage et de destruction, Un jour de ténèbres et d’obscurité, Un jour de nuées et de brouillards,
16 Un jour où retentiront la trompette et les cris de guerre Contre les villes fortes et les tours élevées.
17 Je mettrai les hommes dans la détresse, Et ils marcheront comme des aveugles, Parce qu’ils ont péché contre l’Éternel; Je répandrai leur sang comme de la poussière, Et leur chair comme de l’ordure.
18 Ni leur argent ni leur or ne pourront les délivrer, Au jour de la fureur de l’Éternel; Par le feu de sa jalousie tout le pays sera consumé; Car il détruira soudain tous les habitants du pays.
