Exegesis
hayom hazeh” places the crisis description before the temporal demonstrative, so the day is defined by its character: yom-tsarah {יוֹם־צָרָה | yôm-ṣārâ} ‘day of distress’ joined with two coordinated nouns, vetokhechah {וְתוֹכֵחָה | wə-tôḵēḥâ} ‘rebuke’ and une'atsah {וּנְאָצָה | û-nəʾāṣâ} ‘contempt’, forming a climactic triad that intensifies the evaluation of the moment.
