They will be terrified;
    pain and anguish will seize them;
they’ll writhe like a woman in labor.
    They’ll look aghast at one another;
        and[a] their faces will be ablaze with fear.[b]

    cruel, with wrath and fierce anger—
to turn the entire inhabited[c] earth[d] into a desolation
    and to annihilate sinners[e] from it.
10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations
    won’t shine[f] their light;
the sun will be dark when it rises,
    and the moon won’t shine its light.
