Isaiah 13:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 For the [a]stars of heaven and the planets thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will visit the wickedness upon the [b]world, and their iniquity upon the wicked, and I will cause the arrogancy of the [c]proud to cease, and will cast down the pride of tyrants.
12 I will make a [d]man more precious than fine gold, even a man above the wedge of gold of Ophir.
