13:9Look, the Lord’s day of judgment18 is coming;

it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger,19

destroying20 the earth21

and annihilating its sinners.

13:10Indeed the stars in the sky and their constellations

no longer give out their light;22

the sun is darkened as soon as it rises,

and the moon does not shine.23

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Behold, the day of the Lord comes,

cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,

to make the land a desolation

and to destroy its sinners from it.

For the stars of the heavens and their constellations

will not give their light;

the sun will be dark at its rising,

and the moon will not shed its light.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look, the day of the Lord is coming—

cruel, with fury and burning anger—

to make the earth a desolation

and to destroy its sinners.

Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations

will not give their light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will not shine.

NLTNew Living Translation

For see, the day of the Lord is coming—

the terrible day of his fury and fierce anger.

The land will be made desolate,

and all the sinners destroyed with it.

The heavens will be black above them;

the stars will give no light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will provide no light.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Look! The day of Yahweh is coming,

cruel and wrath and the burning of anger,

to make the earth a desolation,

and he will destroy its sinners from it.

For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not flash forth their light;

the sun will keep back when it comes out,

and the moon will not cause its light to shine.

KJV 1900King James Version

Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,

Cruel both with wrath and fierce anger,

To lay the land desolate:

And he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light:

The sun shall be darkened in his going forth,

And the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
