Isaiah 13:7

An Oracle Against Babylon

⁶ Wail, for the day of Yahweh [is] near; it will come like destruction from Shaddai! ⁷ Therefore all hands will grow slack, and every human heart will melt, ⁸ and they will be dismayed. Pangs and labor pains will seize [them]; they will tremble like a woman giving birth. {They will stare at one another}, {their faces flushing}.

For This Cause

Look! It [is] coming, and it will happen!" {declares} the Lord Yahweh.
