Wail ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty—the summons to lamentation for the impending judgment, with the day of the LORD conceived as the moment when God directly intervenes to destroy the wicked. The identification of the day of the LORD as coming from the Almighty establishes the ultimate source of judgment beyond any human agency. This verse emphasizes the terror and finality of the judgment that is about to arrive.
