A day of the trumpet and alarm

Against the fenced cities,

And against the high towers.»

Zephaniah 1:14-16.

PK.390.001

«I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust. . . . Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath: but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy: for He shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.» Verses 17, 18.

«Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together,

O nation not desired;

Before the decree bring forth,

Before the day pass as the chaff,

Before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you,

Before the day of the Lord’s anger come upon you.

«Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth,

Which have wrought His judgment;

Seek righteousness,

Seek meekness:
