^5 (A)They come from a distant land,
    from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
    to destroy the whole land.^[a]

^10 (A)For the stars of the heavens and their constellations
    will not give their light;
^(B)the sun will be dark at its rising,
    and the moon will not shed its light.
¹¹ I will punish ^(C)the world for its evil,
    and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will ^(D)put an end to the pomp of the arrogant,
    ^(E)and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.
¹² I will make ^(F)people more rare than fine gold,
    and mankind than the ^(G)gold of Ophir.
¹³ Therefore ^(H)I will make the heavens tremble,
    and the earth will be shaken out of its place,
at the wrath of the Lord of hosts
    in the day of his fierce anger.

² For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
    and furious against all their host;
    he has ^(A)devoted them to destruction,^[a] has given them over for slaughter.
³ Their slain shall be cast out,
    and ^(B)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
    ^(C)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
^4 (D)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
    and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
    as leaves fall from the vine,
    like leaves falling from the fig tree.
