8. They will be terrified; pain and anguish will take hold of them; they will writhe as a woman in labor; they will look aghast at one another— their faces aflame!
9. Behold, the day of Adonai comes, cruel, full of wrath and fierce fury, to make the earth a desolation, and destroy its sinners from it.
10. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
11. I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and abase the insolence of tyrants.
12. I will make people scarcer than gold, even than the pure gold of Ophir.
