Their hands won’t be able to help them.
    Everyone’s heart will melt away in fear.
The people will be filled with terror.
    Pain and suffering will grab hold of them.
    They will groan with pain like a woman having a baby.
They’ll look at one another in terror.
    Their faces will burn with shame.

The day of the Lord is coming.
    It will be a terrible day.
    The Lord’s burning anger will blaze out.
He will make the land dry and empty.
    He’ll destroy the sinners in it.
