Isaiah 13:12

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.

In context

10 For 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.

11 I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.

12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

14 Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
