Isaiah 13:6-13 6 Wail, for the day of the Lord isnear; it will come like destruction from the Almighty!  7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will fail,  8and they will be dismayed. Pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labour.  They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.  9 See, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,  to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy its sinners from it.  10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light;  the sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not shed itslight.  11 I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity;  I will put an end to the pride of thearrogant, and lay low the insolence of tyrants.  12 I will make mortals more rare than fine gold, and humans than the gold of Ophir.  13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place,  at the wrath of the Lord of hosts on the day of his fierce anger. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
