Isaiah 13:6-8
Amplified Bible
Judgment on the Day of the Lord
6
Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand!
It will come as [a]destruction from the [b]Almighty (All Sufficient One—Invincible God)!(A)
7
Therefore [c]all hands will fall limp,
And every man’s heart will melt.
8
They [of Babylon] will be shocked and terrified,
Pains and anguish will grip them;
They will be in pain like a woman in childbirth.
They will stare aghast and horrified at one another,
Their faces aflame [from the effects of the unprecedented warfare].
