That day will be a day of fury ... battlements
Verses 15-16 have multiple figures of speech that together emphasize the destructive nature of this final judgment by God.
a day of trumpets and alarms
The words "trumpets" and "alarms" mean basically the same thing here. Both are means to call soldiers to prepare for battle. AT: "a day when people sound the alarm for battle" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
fortified cities and the high battlements
These two phrases both refer to military strongholds. AT: "well fortified cities" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
