Isaiah 13:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 From a distant land,
from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the instruments of his wrath
are coming to destroy the entire earth.
6 Cry out in anguish,
for the day of the Lord is near;
it will come like devastation from the Almighty.
7 Therefore, every hand will hang limp
and every man’s courage will fade;
Isaiah 13:5-7

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
