Joel 2:30-31

30 “And I will show ^awonders in the heavens and ^bon the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31 ^cThe sun shall be turned to darkness, ^dand the moon to blood, ^ebefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

Zephaniah 1:14-18

14 ^fThe great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
^gthe mighty man cries aloud there.
15 ^hA day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ⁱruin and devastation,
^ja day of darkness and gloom,
^ka day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 ^la day of trumpet blast and battle cry
^magainst the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.
17 ⁿI will bring distress on mankind,
so that they shall walk ^olike the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
^ptheir blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh ^qlike dung.
18 ^rNeither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
^sIn the fire of his jealousy,
^tall the earth shall be consumed;
^ufor a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Malachi 4

The Great Day of the Lord

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew} “For behold, ^wthe day is coming, ^xburning like an oven, when ^yall the arrogant and ^zall evildoers ^aawill be stubble. The day that is coming ^abshall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But for you ^acwho fear my name, ^adthe sun ^aeof righteousness shall rise ^afwith healing in its wings. You shall go out ^agleaping like calves from the stall. 3 And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, ^ahon the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.

4 ^ai“Remember ^ajthe law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules ^{▼▼Or and just decrees} that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.

5 ^al“Behold, I will send you ^amElijah the prophet ^anbefore the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 6 And he will ^aoturn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and ^apstrike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” ^{▼▼The Hebrew term rendered decree of utter destruction refers to things devoted (or set apart) to the Lord (or by the Lord) for destruction}
