6Wail, for the day of the LORD is near!

It will come as destruction from[c]the Almighty.

7Therefore all hands will fall limp,

And every human heart will melt.

8They will be terrified,

Pains and anguish will take hold ofthem;

They will writhe like a woman in labor,

They will look at one another in astonishment,

Their faces aflame.

9Behold, the 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.

10For the stars of heaven and their constellations

Will not flash their light;

The sun will be dark when it rises

And the moon will not shed its light.

11So I will punish the world for its evil

And the wicked for their wrongdoing;

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

And humiliate the arrogance of the[d]tyrants.

12I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold

And mankind than the gold of Ophir.

13Therefore I will make the heavens tremble,

And the earth will be shaken from its place

At the fury of the LORD of armies

In the day of His burning anger.

14And it will be that, like a hunted gazelle,

Or like sheep with no one to gatherthem,

Each of them will turn to his own people,

And each of them will flee to his own land.

15Anyone who is found will be thrust through,

And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

16Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces

Before their eyes;

Their houses will be plundered

And their wives raped.

Babylon Will Fall to the Medes
