6 Wail! For the day of the Lord is near.s

It will come as destruction from the Almighty.t

7 Therefore everyone’s hands will become weak,

and every man will lose heart.

8 They will be horrified;

pain and agony will seize them;

they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.u

They will look at each other,

their faces flushed with fear.

9 Look, the dayv of the Lord is coming—

cruel, with fury and burning anger—

to make the earth a desolation

and to destroy its sinners.w

10 Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellationsF

will not give their light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will not shine.a

11 I will punish the world for its evil,b

and wicked people for their iniquities.

I will put an end to the pride of the arrogantc

and humiliate the insolence of tyrants.
