The Day of the Lord Draws Near

Isaiah 13

4 The sound of a tumult is on the mountains
as of a great multitude!

The sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
of nations gathering together!

The LORD of hosts is mustering
a host for battle.

5 They come from a distant land,
from the end of the heavens,
the LORD and the weapons of his indignation,
to destroy the whole land.

6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near;
as destruction from the Almighty it will come!

7 Therefore all hands will be feeble,
and every human heart will melt.

8 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.
