13:9 Look, the Lord’s day of judgment 1 is coming;
it is a day of cruelty and savage, raging anger, 2
destroying 3 the earth 4
and annihilating its sinners.
1 tn Heb “the day of the Lord.”
2 tn Heb “[with] cruelty, and fury, and rage of anger.” Three synonyms for “anger” are piled up at the end of the line to emphasize the extraordinary degree of divine anger that will be exhibited in this judgment.
3 tn Heb “making desolate.”
4 tn Or “land” (KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NLT).
