01 : 15 That day <03117 +yowm > [ is ] a day <03117 +yowm > of
wrath <05678 +<ebrah > , a day <03117 +yowm > of trouble <06869

blind <05787 +<ivver > men , because <03588 +kiy > they have

their blood <01818 +dam > shall be poured <08210 +shaphak > out
as dust <06083 +<aphar > , and their flesh <03894 +lachuwm > as
the dung <01561 +gelel > .
01 : 18 Neither <03808 +lo> > their silver <03701 +keceph > nor
<01571 +gam > their gold <02091 +zahab > shall be able <03201
+yakol > to deliver <05337 +natsal > them in the day <03117
