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

It will come like destruction from the Almighty. u

7Therefore everyone’s hands will become weak,

and every man’s heart will melt.

8They will be horrified;

pain and agony will seize them;

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

They will look at each other,

their faces flushed with fear.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;

as destruction from the Almighty it will come!

Therefore all hands will be feeble,

and every human heart will melt.

They will be dismayed:

pangs and agony will seize them;

they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.

They will look aghast at one another;

their faces will be aflame.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;

it will come like destruction from the Almighty.

Because of this, all hands will go limp,

every heart will melt with fear.

Terror will seize them,

pain and anguish will grip them;

they will writhe like a woman in labor.

They will look aghast at each other,

their faces aflame.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Wail! For the day of the Lord is near.

It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Therefore everyone’s hands will become weak,

and every man will lose heart.

They will be horrified;

pain and agony will seize them;

they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.

They will look at each other,

their faces flushed with fear.

NLTNew Living Translation

Scream in terror, for the day of the Lord has arrived—

the time for the Almighty to destroy.

Every arm is paralyzed with fear.

Every heart melts,

and people are terrified.

Pangs of anguish grip them,

like those of a woman in labor.

They look helplessly at one another,

their faces aflame with fear.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Wail, for the day of Yahweh is near;

it will come like destruction from Shaddai!

Therefore all hands will grow slack,

and every human heart will melt,

and they will be dismayed.

Pangs and labor pains will seize them;

they will tremble like a woman giving birth.

They will stare at one another,

their faces flushing.

KJV 1900King James Version

Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand;

It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

Therefore shall all hands be faint,

And every man’s heart shall melt:

And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them;

They shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth:

They shall be amazed one at another;

Their faces shall be as flames.
