Isaiah 13:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹²I will make a man more rare than fine gold, and mankind scarcer than the pure gold of Ophir.

¹³Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the ^[a]earth shall be shaken out of its place at the wrath of the Lord of hosts in the day of His fierce anger.

¹⁴And like the chased roe or gazelle, and like sheep that no man gathers, each [foreign resident] will turn to his own people, and each will flee to his own land.
