Isaiah 13:6
Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
BSB
ASV
Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
KJV
Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
"The day of the LORD" named as imminent destruction from the Almighty against Babylon
(Verse 6, 7.) Howl, for the day of the Lord is near; it will come as destruction from the Lord. Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every man's heart will melt, and be crushed. For the warriors of the Lord are coming to destroy all the earth, howl and repent, for punishment is coming. For the day of the Lord is near, the end of the world, and judgment, or the end of each person's life. For plunder comes from the Lord, which we call destruction, to keep the metaphor, because the warriors had been sent ahead.
