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.

12 I will make a human more scarce than fine gold,

and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir.d

13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble,

and the earth will shake from its foundationse

at the wrath of the Lord of Armies,

on the day of his burning anger.
