6. Wail, for the day of the Lord is near.Like destruction from the Almighty it will come.
7. Then all hands will fall limp;every human heart will melt,
8. and they will be terrified.Like a woman writhing in labor,they will be seized by spasms and agony.They will look at each other aghast,their faces blazing.
9. Look, the day of the Lord is coming with cruel rage and burning anger,making the earth a ruin,and wiping out its sinners.
10. Heaven’s stars and constellations won’t show their light.The sun will be dark when it rises;the moon will no longer shine.
