Isaiah 13:4-17
King James Version
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

New International Version
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!(A)
Listen, an uproar(B) among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(C) is mustering(D)
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens(E)—
the Lord and the weapons(F) of his wrath(G)—
to destroy(H) the whole country.
6 Wail,(I) for the day(J) of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction(K) from the Almighty.[a](L)
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,(M)
every heart will melt with fear.(N)
8 Terror(O) will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip(P) them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.(Q)
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.(R)
9 See, the day(S) of the Lord is coming
—a cruel(T) day, with wrath(U) and fierce anger(V)—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.(W)
The rising sun(X) will be darkened(Y)
and the moon will not give its light.(Z)
11 I will punish(AA) the world for its evil,
the wicked(AB) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty(AC)
and will humble(AD) the pride of the ruthless.(AE)
12 I will make people(AF) scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.(AG)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;(AH)
and the earth will shake(AI) from its place
at the wrath(AJ) of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.(AK)
14 Like a hunted(AL) gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,(AM)
they will all return to their own people,
they will flee(AN) to their native land.(AO)
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall(AP) by the sword.(AQ)
16 Their infants(AR) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives violated.(AS)
