Isaiah 13:7

An Oracle Against Babylon

⁶ Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High. ⁷ For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water; ⁸ Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.

For This Cause
