⁶ Cry loudly, for the day of Yahweh is near.
    It will come like destruction from Shadday.
⁷ That is why every hand will hang limp,
    and everyone’s courage will fail.
⁸         They’ll be terrified.
            Pain and anguish will seize them.
        They’ll writhe like a woman giving birth to a child.
        They’ll look at one another in astonishment.
            Their faces will be burning red.
