The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Canite tuba in Sion, ululate in monte sancto meo, conturbentur omnes habitatores terræ : quia venit dies Domini, quia prope est.
Septuagint (Swete): Σαλπίσατε σάλπιγγι ἐν Σειών, κηρύξατε ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ μου, καὶ συγχυθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν, διότι πάρεστιν ἡμέρα Κυρίου, ὅτι ἐγγύς·
Hebrew (WLC): תִּקְע֨וּ שׁוֹפָ֜ר בְּצִיּ֗וֹן וְהָרִ֨יעוּ֙ בְּהַ֣ר קָדְשִׁ֔י יִרְגְּז֕וּ כֹּ֖ל יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֑רֶץ כִּֽי בָ֥א יוֹם יְהוָ֖ה כִּ֥י קָרֽוֹב

Haydock's commentary

Blow. The prophets often ordered, to signify what will take place. (Worthington)

The people were gathered by the sound of trumpets. The danger from the locusts was imminent; and all are exhorted to avert it, by praying in the temple, &c.

Tremble at the sound, Amos iii. 6. (Calmet)

Extemplo turbati. (Virgil, Æneid viii.)

Lord. That is, the time when he will execute justice on sinners, (Challoner) and suffer affliction to fall upon them. (Worthington) (Chap. i. 15.)
