Isaiah 13:8

An Oracle Against Babylon

⁷ For this cause - All hands, shall hang down, - and Every mortal heart, melt. ⁸ And they shall be in distress - Writhings and pains, shall lay hold, As a woman in childbirth, shall they be in pangs, - Everyone, at his neighbour, shall look in amazement, Faces of flames, their faces! ⁹ Lo! the day of Yahweh, coming in, Fierce and overflowing, and burning with anger, - To devote the earth to desolation, And her sinners, will he destroy out of it.
