Isaiah 13:10-18
10
The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.
The rising sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light.
11
I will punish the world for its evil,
the wicked for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty
and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
12
I will make man scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.
13
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;
and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.
14
Like a hunted gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,
each will return to his own people,
each will flee to his native land.
15
Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16
Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives ravished.
17
See, I will stir up against them the Medes,
who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold.
18
Their bows will strike down the young men;
they will have no mercy on infants
nor will they look with compassion on children.
