Isaiah 13:6-8 The Future of Babylon

6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction from the Almighty.

7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,
every man’s heart will melt.

8 Terror will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.
