^{6 Ref} Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

^{7 Ref} Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt:

^{8 Ref} and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame.

^{9 Ref} Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners of it out of it.
