7. Therefore all hands fall helpless,every human heart melts,
8. and they are terrified,Pangs and sorrows take hold of them,like a woman in labor they writhe;They look aghast at each other,their faces aflame.
9. Indeed, the day of the Lord comes,cruel, with wrath and burning anger;To lay waste the landand destroy the sinners within it!
10. The stars of the heavens and their constellationswill send forth no light;The sun will be dark at its rising,and the moon will not give its light.
11. Thus I will punish the world for its eviland the wicked for their guilt.I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant,the insolence of tyrants I will humble.
