The words “The great day of the LORD is near”

여호와의 큰 날이 가깝다는 말

Zephaniah 1:14–18: the text says, “The great day of the LORD is near. It is near and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man cries there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements. I will bring such distress on men that they will walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.” WEB sets no quotation mark in these verses. The Korean Revised Version gives 1:17 in the LORD’s first person (이는 그들이 나 여호와께 범죄하였음이라), where WEB reads “because they have sinned against the LORD”, and names the LORD twice at 1:18 (여호와의 질투의 불에, 여호와가 이 땅 모든 거민을 멸절하되), where WEB reads “by the fire of his jealousy” and “he will make an end”.
