The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).

Prepare ye the way of the Lord.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.

The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word.
