Exegesis

A tight string of descriptors—ʾakzārî {אַכְזָרִי | ʾakzārî} ‘cruel,’ wə-ʿeḇrāh {וְעֶבְרָה | wə-ʿeḇrāh} ‘and wrath,’ and wa-ḥărôn ʾap {וַחֲרוֹן אָף | wa-ḥărôn ʾap} ‘and burning anger’—stands in apposition to “day,” unpacking the character of that event as severe judgment.

In contextIsaiah 13:9

Behold, the day of the LORD comes—cruel , with wrath and burning anger—to make the land desolate, and He will destroy its sinners from it.
