“The great day of the L ord is near... That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high towers. I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the L ord; their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like refuse.
"Na makundi ya wanyama watalala kati yake, wanyama wote wa mataifa; mwari-nyuni na nungu watakaa juu ya vichwa vya nguzo zake; sauti yaoitasikiwa madirishani; vizingitini mwake mtakuwa ukiwa; kwa maana ameifunua kazi ya mierezi. Huu ndio mji ule wa furaha, Uliokaa pasipo kufikiri, Iliosema moyoni mwake, mimi nipo, Wala hapana mwingine ila mimi.
