Isaiah 13:6-10 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Cry, because the Lord’s day of judging is near;the Almighty is sending destruction.

7. People will be weak with fear,and their courage will melt away.

8. Everyone will be afraid.Pain and hurt will grab them;they will hurt like a woman giving birth to a baby.They will look at each other in fear,with their faces red like fire.

9. Look, the Lord’s day of judging is coming—a terrible day, a day of God’s anger.He will destroy the landand the sinners who live in it.

10. The stars will not show their light;the skies will be dark.The sun will grow dark as it rises,and the moon will not give its light.
