Isa 13:6-8, 21:3-4, Jer 51:31, Dan 5:5-6 | ESV | STEP | Wail , for the day of the Lord is near ; as destruction from the Almighty it will come !

Isaiah 13:6-8

6 ^aWail, for ^bthe day of the Lord is near;
as destruction from the Almighty ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for destruction and almighty sound alike} it will come!
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble,
and every human heart ^dwill melt.
8 They will be dismayed:
^epangs and agony will seize them;
^fthey will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
their faces will be aflame.

Isaiah 21:3-4

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
^gpangs have seized me,
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
^hthe twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.

Jeremiah 51:31

31 One ⁱrunner runs to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another,
to tell the king of Babylon
that his city is taken on every side;

Daniel 5:5-6

5 ^jImmediately ^kthe fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw ^lthe hand as it wrote. 6 ^mThen the king’s color changed, ⁿand his thoughts alarmed him; ^ohis limbs gave way, and ^phis knees knocked together.
