⁹ Behold, ^(A)the day of the Lord comes,
    cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the land a desolation
    and ^(B)to destroy its sinners from it.

^18 (A)Their bows will slaughter^[a] the young men;
    they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb;
    their eyes will not pity children.
