Isaiah 13:7

An Oracle Against Babylon

⁶ Shout (wail) (howl) for the Day of Jehovah is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. ⁷ Therefore all hands will fall limp,
And every man’s heart will melt.
⁸ They will be terrified! Pains and anguish will possess them. They will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another in amazement with their faces reddened with excitement (aflame).

For This Cause
