Página xxiv - Howl ye ; for the day of the LORD is at hand ; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt : and they shall be afraid : pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them ; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another ; their faces shall be as flames.
