7 Therefore shall all hands be slack, and every ’s heart shall melt,

8 And they shall be dismayed: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall writhe as a travailing woman; they shall look aghast one at another: faces of flame are their faces.

9 Behold, the ’day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation, and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven, and the Orions thereof, shall not give forth their light; the sun shall be dark at his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, and man- kind than the (pure) gold of. Ophir.
