7. Therefore all hands shall be faint, and every heart of man shall melt:
8. And they shall be filled with terror; anguish and pain shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9. Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel and with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10. For this reason the stars of the heavens and the lights thereof shall not shine: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not give forth her light.
11. And I will visit evil upon the world and iniquity upon the wicked, and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease and will lay low the haughtiness of the strong.
12. I will make the noble man more precious than fine gold and man more than the gold of Ophir.
13. Because I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall be moved out of her place, in the indignation of the Lord of the hosts and in the day of his fierce anger.
14. And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep without a shepherd: they shall each man look unto his own people, and flee each one unto his own land.
15. Every one that is found shall be thrust through, and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16. Their children shall also be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
