Isaiah 13:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Therefore all hands will be feeble,
    and every human heart will melt,
⁸     and they will be dismayed.
Pangs and agony will seize them;
    they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.
⁹ See, the day of the Lord comes,
    cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the earth a desolation,
    and to destroy its sinners from it.
