Isaiah 13:10
Context13:10 Indeed the stars in the sky and their constellations
no longer give out their light; 1
the sun is darkened as soon as it rises,
and the moon does not shine. 2
Isaiah 13:13-14
Context13:13 So I will shake the heavens, 3
and the earth will shake loose from its foundation, 4
because of the fury of the Lord who commands armies,
in the day he vents his raging anger. 5
13:14 Like a frightened gazelle 6
or a sheep with no shepherd,
each will turn toward home, 7
each will run to his homeland.
