6. Howl, for the day of the Lord is near;as destruction from the Almighty it comes.
7. Therefore all hands fall helpless,every human heart melts,
8. and they are terrified,Pangs and sorrows take hold of them,like a woman in labor they writhe;They look aghast at each other,their faces aflame.
9. Indeed, the day of the Lord comes,cruel, with wrath and burning anger;To lay waste the landand destroy the sinners within it!
