Isaiah 13:6-13
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Wail! For the day of the Lord is near.(A)
It will come like destruction from the Almighty.(B)
7 Therefore everyone’s hands will become weak,
and every man’s heart will melt.
8 They will be horrified;
pain and agony will seize them;
they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.(C)
They will look at each other,
their faces flushed with fear.
9 Look, the day(D) of the Lord is coming—
cruel, with rage and burning anger—
to make the earth a desolation
and to destroy the sinners on it.(E)
10 Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations[a]
will not give their light.
The sun will be dark when it rises,
and the moon will not shine.(F)
11 I will bring disaster on the world,
and their own iniquity,(G) on the wicked.
I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant(H)
and humiliate the insolence of tyrants.
12 I will make man scarcer than gold,
and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir.(I)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble,
and the earth will shake from its foundations(J)
at the wrath of the Lord of Hosts,
on the day of His burning anger.
