Isaiah
Isaiah 13:9–10
9Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—
cruel, with fury and burning anger—
to make the earth a desolation
and to destroy the sinners within it.
10For the stars of heaven and their constellations
will not give their light.
The rising sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light.
