In context

5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens — Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation — to destroy the whole land.

6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,

8 and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent.
