Isaiah 13:6-14

6Wail! For the day of the Lord is near. It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

7Therefore everyone’s hands will become weak, and every man will lose heart.

8They will be horrified; pain and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labor. They will look at each other, their faces flushed with fear.

9Look, the day of the Lord is coming — cruel, with fury and burning anger — to make the earth a desolation and to destroy its sinners.

10Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will not shine.

11I will punish the world for its evil, and wicked people for their iniquities. I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant and humiliate the insolence of tyrants.

12I will make a human more scarce than fine gold, and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir.

13Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will shake from its foundations at the wrath of the Lord of Armies, on the day of his burning anger.

14Like wandering gazelles and like sheep without a shepherd, each one will turn to his own people, each one will flee to his own land.
