⁷ Because of this, all hands will go limp,^(A)
    every heart will melt with fear.^(B)
8 Terror^(C) will seize them,
    pain and anguish will grip^(D) them;
    they will writhe like a woman in labor.^(E)
They will look aghast at each other,
    their faces aflame.^(F)

⁹ See, the day^(G) of the Lord is coming
    —a cruel^(H) day, with wrath^(I) and fierce anger^(J)—
to make the land desolate
    and destroy the sinners within it.
