Isaiah 13:6

‘The day is coming.’ On that day, people will see clearly what God is doing. His powerful deeds will impress everyone. The date is God’s secret.

God will punish proud people

v9 The day of the *Lord is near. ‘I shall not pity anyone when that time comes. Because I am so angry, I shall destroy the land. And I shall kill every wicked person in it. v10 The stars in the sky will not shine. The sun will be dark when it rises. The moon will give no light. v11 I shall severely punish the inhabitants of the world because of their evil actions. I shall punish all who are proud and selfish. v12 Few people will remain after I have finished my work. It will be easier to find pure gold than to find people that remain. v13 I shall make the skies tremble. I shall shake the foundations (the base) of the earth.’ These things will happen because the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies) is so very angry.
