Ezekiel 32:9

Judgment

7 When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

8 All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will bring darkness upon your land,’ declares the Lord GOD.

‘I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I bring about your destruction among the nations, in countries you do not know.

10 I will cause many peoples to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder in horror because of you when I brandish My sword before them. On the day of your downfall each of them will tremble every moment for his life.’

11 For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you!
