Isaiah · chapter 13 · verse 6
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.Isaiah 13:6 · King James Version
Isaiah 13:6 in context
4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

8And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
