Isaiah 13:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷Therefore all hands will be feeble,
    and every man’s heart will melt,
⁸    and they will be dismayed.
Pangs and agony will seize them;
    they will be in anguish like a woman in travail.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.

⁹Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the earth a desolation
and to destroy its sinners from it.
