Isaiah 13:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ All people will be terrified.
Hands will grow limp;
    courage will melt away.
⁸ Everyone will tremble with pain
    like a woman giving birth;
they will stare at each other
    with horror on their faces.

⁹ I, the Lord,
will show no mercy or pity
    when that time comes.
In my anger I will destroy
the earth and every sinner
    who lives on it.
