5. They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6. Wail; for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7. Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt.
8. They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labour. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
9. Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.
