15A day of wrath is that day,
         A day of trouble and distress,
         A day of destruction and desolation,
         A day of darkness and gloom,
         A day of clouds and thick darkness,

16A day of trumpet and battle cry
         Against the fortified cities
         And the high corner towers.

17I will bring distress on men
         So that they will walk like the blind,
         Because they have sinned against the LORD;
         And their blood will be poured out like dust
         And their flesh like dung.

18Neither their silver nor their gold
         Will be able to deliver them
         On the day of the LORD’S wrath;
         And all the earth will be devoured
         In the fire of His jealousy,
         For He will make a complete end,
         Indeed a terrifying one,
         Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

"My Son, let not the fair and subtle sayings of men move thee. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.(1) Give ear to My words, for they kindle the heart and enlighten the mind, they bring contrition, and they supply manifold consolations. Never read thou the word that thou mayest appear more learned or wise; but study for the mortification of thy sins, for this will be far more profitable for thee than the knowledge of many difficult questions. 2.

The Girdle of the City. Nehemiah 3
The beginning of the circumference was from 'the sheep-gate.' That, we suppose, was seated on the south part, yet but little removed from that corner, which looks south-east. Within was the pool of Bethesda, famous for healings. Going forward, on the south part, was the tower Meah: and beyond that, "the tower of Hananeel": in the Chaldee paraphrast it is, 'The tower Piccus,' Zechariah 14:10; Piccus, Jeremiah 31:38.--I should suspect that to be, the Hippic tower, were not that placed on the north …
