Isaiah 13:9-16 GNB The day of the LORD  (יהוה) is coming---that cruel day of his fierce anger and fury. The earth will be made a wilderness, and every sinner will be destroyed. (10) Every star and every constellation will stop shining, the sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will give no light. (11) The LORD  (יהוה) says, "I will bring disaster on the earth and punish all wicked people for their sins. I will humble everyone who is proud and punish everyone who is arrogant and cruel. (12) Those who survive will be scarcer than gold. (13) I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place on that day when I, the LORD  (יהוה) Almighty, show my anger. (14) "The foreigners living in Babylon will run away to their homelands, scattering like deer escaping from hunters, like sheep without a shepherd. (15) Anyone who is caught will be stabbed to death. (16) While they look on helplessly, their babies will be battered to death, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be raped."

(10) For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not reflect its light. (11) And I will visit evil on the world, and their iniquity on the wicked. And I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease; and I will humble the pride of tyrants. (12) I will make a man more rare than fine gold; even a man more than the carvings of Ophir. (13) So I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah  (יהוה) of Hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger. (14) And it shall be as a gazelle driven away, and as a sheep no one gathers; each man shall look to his own people, and each one shall flee to his land. (15) Everyone who is found shall be pierced through; yea, everyone who is swept away shall fall by the sword. (16) And their children shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be robbed, and their wives raped.

(10) Light will disappear from the stars in the sky; the dawning sun will turn dark, and the moon will lose its glow. (11) I will punish this evil world and its people because of their sins. I will crush the horrible pride of those who are cruel. (12) Survivors will be harder to find than the purest gold. (13) I, the LORD  (יהוה) All-Powerful, am terribly angry-- I will make the sky tremble and the earth shake loose. (14) Everyone will run to their homelands, just as hunted deer run, and sheep scatter when they have no shepherd. (15) Those who are captured will be killed by a sword. (16) They will see their children beaten against rocks, their homes robbed, and their wives abused.

(10) For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be dark at its rising, and the moon will not shed its light. (11) I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant, and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless. (12) I will make people more rare than fine gold, and mankind than the gold of Ophir. (13) Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, at the wrath of the LORD  (יהוה) of hosts in the day of his fierce anger. (14) And like a hunted gazelle, or like sheep with none to gather them, each will turn to his own people, and each will flee to his own land. (15) Whoever is found will be thrust through, and whoever is caught will fall by the sword. (16) Their infants will be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses will be plundered and their wives ravished.

(11) I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their wrongdoing. I will put an end to arrogant people and humble the pride of tyrants. (12) I will make people harder to find than pure gold and human beings more rare than gold from Ophir. (13) I will make heaven tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place when the LORD  (יהוה) of Armies is angry. At that time he will be very angry. (14) They'll be like hunted gazelle and like sheep with no one to gather them. Everyone will return to his own people and flee to his own land. (15) Whoever is found will be stabbed to death. Whoever is captured will be executed. (16) Their little children will be smashed to death right before their eyes. Their houses will be looted and their wives raped.
