Isaiah 13:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
Therefore ^[a]all hands will fall limp,
And every man’s heart will melt.
⁸ 
They [of Babylon] will be shocked and terrified,
Pains and anguish will grip them;
They will be in pain like a woman in childbirth.
They will stare aghast and horrified at one another,
Their faces aflame [from the effects of the unprecedented warfare].
⁹ 
Listen carefully, the day of the Lord is coming,
Cruel, with wrath and raging anger,
To make the land a horror [of devastation];
And He shall exterminate its sinners from it.^(A)
