THE DAY OF THE LORD IS COMING

 

Isaiah 13:9-16

9 See, The Day of the Lord is Coming—

A Cruel day, with Wrath and Fierce Anger--

TO MAKE THE LAND DESOLATE

AND DESTROY THE SINNERS WITHIN IT.

10 The stars of heaven and their constellations

Will not show their light.

The rising sun will be darkened

And the moon will not give its light.

11 I WILL PUNISH THE WORLD FOR ITS EVIL,

THE WICKED FOR THEIR SINS.

I will put an End to the Arrogance of the Haughty

And will Humble the Pride of the Ruthless.

12 I will make man Scarcer than pure gold,

more Rare than the gold of Ophir.

13 Therefore, I will make the Heavens Tremble;

AND THE EARTH WILL SHAKE FROM ITS PLACE

AT THE WRATH OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY

IN THE DAY OF HIS BURNING ANGER.

14 Like hunted antelope,

Like sheep without a shepherd,

EACH WILL RETURN TO HIS OWN PEOPLE,

EACH WILL FLEE TO HIS NATIVE LAND.

15 Whoever is Captured will be Thrust Through;

All who are Caught will fall by the Sword.

16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;

Their houses will be looted and their wives ravished.
