10 The stars of heaven and their constellationswill not show their light.The rising sun will be darkenedand the moon will not give its light.
11 I will punish the world for its evil,the wicked for their sins.I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughtyand will humble the pride of the ruthless.
12 I will make people scarcer than pure gold,more rare than the gold of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;and the earth will shake from its placeat the wrath of the Lord Almighty,in the day of his burning anger.
14 Like a hunted gazelle,like sheep without a shepherd,they will all return to their own people,they will flee to their native land.
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;all who are caught will fall by the sword.
16 Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;their houses will be looted and their wives violated.
