(A)Wail, for (B)the day of the Lord is near;
    as destruction from the Almighty[a] it will come!
Therefore all hands will be feeble,
    and every human heart (C)will melt.
They will be dismayed:
    (D)pangs and agony will seize them;
    (E)they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.

Behold, (F)the day of the Lord comes,
    cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the land a desolation
    and (G)to destroy its sinners from it.
