Isaiah 13:6-9

6Weep, because the day of the Lord is near. That is the time when God Almighty will destroy his enemies.

7All the people will become weak with fear. They will no longer be brave.

8They will be very afraid. Their bodies will hurt with great pain, like a woman who is giving birth. They will look at each other, as their faces show fear and pain.

9Look! The day of the Lord will happen soon! It will be a cruel day. The Lord will punish his enemies with great anger. He will destroy the whole land, as well as all the sinners in it.
