Isaiah 13:10–18
10For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.↗
11I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible.↗
12I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.↗
13Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the LORD of Armies’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger.↗
14It will happen that like a hunted gazelle and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.↗
15Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.↗
16Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.↗
17Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.↗
18Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.↗
