They should be careful what they wish for:
Wail!
For the Day of the LORD is near!
It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
Therefore, all hands will fall limp,
and every man’s heart will melt.
They will be terrified,
pains and anguish will take hold of them;
They will writhe like a woman in labor,
they will look at one another in astonishment,
their faces aflame.
Behold!
The Day of the LORD is coming!
Cruel,
with fury
and burning anger,
to make the land a desolation;
And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
For the stars of heaven
and their constellations will not flash forth their light;
The sun will be dark when it rises
and the moon will not shed its light.
Thus, I will punish the world for its evil
and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud
and abase the haughtiness of the ruthless.
I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold
and mankind than the gold of Ophir.
Therefore, I will make the heavens tremble,
and the Earth will be shaken from its place,
at the Fury of the LORD of Hosts,
in the Day of His burning anger.
Isaiah 13:6-13 NASB1995
