Isaiah 13:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ The day of the Lord is coming.
    It will be a terrible day.
    The Lord’s burning anger will blaze out.
He will make the land dry and empty.
    He’ll destroy the sinners in it.
¹⁰ All the stars in the sky
    will stop giving their light.
The sun will be darkened as soon as it rises.
    The moon will not shine.
¹¹ The Lord will punish the world because it is so evil.
    He will punish evil people for their sins.
He’ll put an end to the bragging of those who are proud.
    He’ll bring down the pride of those who don’t show any pity.
