Isaiah 13:8-10

Contemporary English Version

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.
^10 (A) Light will disappear
    from the stars in the sky;
the dawning sun will turn dark,
and the moon
    will lose its brightness.
