Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand!
    It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
Therefore all hands shall be faint,
    and every man’s heart shall melt,
and they shall be afraid.
    Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them;
    they shall be in pain as a woman who travails;
they shall be amazed one at another;
    their faces shall be as flames.

Because of this, all hands will go limp,(E)
    every heart will melt with fear.(F)
Terror(G) will seize them,
    pain and anguish will grip(H) them;
    they will writhe like a woman in labor.(I)
They will look aghast at each other,
    their faces aflame.(J)
