Isaiah 13:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 Wail, for the day of Yahweh is near;
it will come like destruction from Shaddai![a]
7 Therefore all hands will grow slack,
and every human heart will melt,
8 and they will be dismayed.
Pangs and labor pains will seize them;
they will tremble like a woman giving birth.
They will stare at one another,[b]
their faces flushing.[c]
