Isaiah 13:9-10
New English Translation
9 Look, the Lord’s day of judgment[a] is coming;
it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger,[b]
destroying[c] the earth[d]
and annihilating its sinners.
10 Indeed the stars in the sky and their constellations
no longer give out their light;[e]
the sun is darkened as soon as it rises,
and the moon does not shine.[f]
