New Testament

Isaiah 13:6-13 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Cry, because the Lord’s day of judging is near;the Almighty is sending destruction.

7. People will be weak with fear,and their courage will melt away.

8. Everyone will be afraid.Pain and hurt will grab them;they will hurt like a woman giving birth to a baby.They will look at each other in fear,with their faces red like fire.

9. Look, the Lord’s day of judging is coming—a terrible day, a day of God’s anger.He will destroy the landand the sinners who live in it.

10. The stars will not show their light;the skies will be dark.The sun will grow dark as it rises,and the moon will not give its light.

11. The Lord says, “I will punish the world for its eviland wicked people for their sins.I will cause proud people to lose their pride,and I will destroy the pride of those who are cruel to others.

12. People will be harder to find than pure gold;there will be fewer people than there is fine gold in Ophir.

13. I will make the sky shake,and the earth will be moved from its placeby the anger of the Lord All-Powerfulat the time of his burning anger.
