Wail, for Yahweh’s day is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt. They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.

  1. Isaiah 13:6 Hebrew Shaddai

Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
