Isaiah 13:6

6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty!

Isaiah 13:6 In-Context

4 Listen, a tumult on the mountains as of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathering together! The Lord of hosts is mustering an army for battle.
5 They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, the Lord and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole earth.
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty!
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt,
8 and they will be dismayed. Pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.
