Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty![a]
Therefore all hands will be feeble,
    and every human heart will fail,
    and they will be dismayed.
Pangs and agony will seize them;
    they will be in anguish like a woman in labour.
They will look aghast at one another;
    their faces will be aflame.
