Isaiah 13:6-18

6HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706. 7Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man’sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549:1 8And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851.234 9Behold, the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it. 10For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050. 11And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184. 12I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211. 13Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. 14And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776. 15Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. 16Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7693H7901. 17Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it. 18Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
