Judgment on the Day of the Lord

6 Wail, for the aday of the Lord is near!

It will come as bdestruction from 1the Almighty.

7 Therefore aall hands will fall limp,

And every man’s bheart will melt.

8 They will be aterrified,

Pains and anguish will take hold of them;

They will bwrithe like a woman in labor,

They will look at one another in astonishment,

Their faces aflame.

9 Behold, athe day of the Lord is coming,

Cruel, with fury and burning anger,

To make the land a desolation;

And He will exterminate its sinners from it.

10 For the astars of heaven and their constellations

Will not flash forth their light;

The bsun will be dark when it rises

And the moon will not shed its light.

11 Thus I will apunish the world for its evil

And the bwicked for their iniquity;

I will also put an end to the carrogance of the proud

And abase the dhaughtiness of the 1eruthless.

12 I will make mortal man 1ascarcer than pure gold

And mankind than the bgold of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will make the aheavens tremble,

And bthe earth will be shaken from its place

At the fury of the Lord of hosts

In cthe day of His burning anger.
