“The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.”
The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter; the mighty man cries aloud there—the repeated emphasis ('near, near') and the swiftness ('hastening') establish the imminence of judgment. The auditory dimension ('sound is bitter,' 'mighty man cries') conveys the horror and terror of the event. Even the strong cry out in the face of cosmic judgment.
