5
They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.
6
Wail, for the day of the LORD 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 take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.
9
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
