Isaiah 13:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty!^[a]
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.
