In Context

4 The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation to destroy the whole land.

6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,

8 and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
