Isaiah

Chapter 13

1 The burden4853 of Babylon,894 which834 Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 did see.2372

2 Lift ye up5375 a banner5251 upon5921 the high8192 mountain,2022 exalt7311 the voice6963 unto them, shake5130 the hand,3027 that they may go935 into the gates6607 of the nobles.5081

3 I589 have commanded6680 my sanctified ones,6942 I have also1571 called7121 my mighty ones1368 for mine anger,639 even them that rejoice5947 in my highness.1346

4 The noise6963 of a multitude1995 in the mountains,2022 like1823 as of a great7227 people;5971 a tumultuous7588 noise6963 of the kingdoms4467 of nations1471 gathered together:622 the LORD3068 of hosts6635 mustereth6485 the host6635 of the battle.4421

5 They come935 from a far country,4480 4801 776 from the end4480 7097 of heaven,8064 even the LORD,3068 and the weapons3627 of his indignation,2195 to destroy2254 the whole3605 land.776

6 Howl3213 ye; for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is at hand;7138 it shall come935 as a destruction7701 from the Almighty.4480 7706

7 Therefore5921 3651 shall all3605 hands3027 be faint,7503 and every3605 man's582 heart3824 shall melt: 4549

8 And they shall be afraid:926 pangs6735 and sorrows2256 shall take hold270 of them; they shall be in pain2342 as a woman that travaileth:3205 they shall be amazed8539 one376 at413 another;7453 their faces6440 shall be as flames.6440 3851

9 Behold,2009 the day3117 of the LORD3068 cometh,935 cruel394 both with wrath5678 and fierce2740 anger,639 to lay7760 the land776 desolate:8047 and he shall destroy8045 the sinners2400 thereof out of4480 it.

10 For3588 the stars3556 of heaven8064 and the constellations3685 thereof shall not3808 give1984 their light:216 the sun8121 shall be darkened2821 in his going forth,3318 and the moon3394 shall not3808 cause her light216 to shine.5050

11 And I will punish6485 the world8398 for5921 their evil,7451 and the wicked7563 for5921 their iniquity;5771 and I will cause the arrogance1347 of the proud2086 to cease,7673 and will lay low8213 the haughtiness1346 of the terrible.6184

12 I will make a man582 more precious3365 than fine gold;4480 6337 even a man120 than the golden wedge4480 3800 of Ophir.211

13 Therefore5921 3651 I will shake7264 the heavens,8064 and the earth776 shall remove7493 out of her place,4480 4725 in the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and in the day3117 of his fierce2740 anger.639

14 And it shall be1961 as the chased5080 roe,6643 and as a sheep6629 that no369 man taketh up:6908 they shall every man376 turn6437 to413 his own people,5971 and flee5127 every one376 into413 his own land.776

15 Every one3605 that is found4672 shall be thrust through;1856 and every one3605 that is joined5595 unto them shall fall5307 by the sword.2719

16 Their children5768 also shall be dashed7376 to pieces before their eyes;5869 their houses1004 shall be spoiled,8155 and their wives802 ravished.7693

17 Behold,2009 I will stir up5782 853 the Medes4074 against5921 them, which834 shall not3808 regard2803 silver;3701 and as for gold,2091 they shall not3808 delight2654 in it.

18 Their bows7198 also shall dash7376 the young men5288 to pieces; and they shall have no3808 pity7355 on the fruit6529 of the womb;990 their eye5869 shall not3808 spare2347 5921 children.1121

19 And Babylon,894 the glory6643 of kingdoms,4467 the beauty8597 of the Chaldees'3778 excellency,1347 shall be1961 as when God430 overthrew4114 853 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah.6017

20 It shall never3808 5331 be inhabited,3427 neither3808 shall it be dwelt7931 in from generation1755 to5704 generation:1755 neither3808 shall the Arabian6163 pitch tent167 there;8033 neither3808 shall the shepherds7462 make their fold7257 there.8033

21 But wild beasts of the desert6728 shall lie7257 there;8033 and their houses1004 shall be full4390 of doleful creatures;255 and owls1323 3284 shall dwell7931 there,8033 and satyrs8163 shall dance7540 there.8033

22 And the wild beasts of the islands338 shall cry6030 in their desolate houses,490 and dragons8577 in their pleasant6027 palaces:1964 and her time6256 is near7138 to come,935 and her days3117 shall not3808 be prolonged.4900

Isaiah

Chapter 13

1 THE prophecy concerning the fall of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

2 Lift up a banner on high mountains, raise the voice to them, wave the hand, that they may enter the gates of the princes.

3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have called the mighty ones in my anger, even them that became strong with my excellency.

4 The noise of tumult on the mountains, like as of many peoples; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together; the LORD of hosts is performing wonders.

5 Warriors are coming from afar, and from the end of heaven, even the LORD and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6 Howl; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a plunder which is made suddenly.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt;

8 And they shall be afraid; terror and pangs shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail; they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, which has no remedy, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its rising, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the mighty.

12 I will make a man more precious than gold; even a man than the gold of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall be moved out of its place, in the rebuke of the LORD of hosts, in the day of his fierce anger.

14 And they shall be like gazelles when they flee, and like sheep that have no one to gather them; every man shall turn to his own people, and every one flee to his own land.

15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that escapes shall fall by the sword.

16 Their children, shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled and their wives ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who have no regard for silver, and have no delight in gold.

18 The bows of young men shall be broken in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

19 And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldean's excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabians encamp there; neither shall the shepherds make their folds there.

21 But wild beasts shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

22 And the screech-owls shall cry in their palaces, and jackals in their pleasant temples; its time is soon to come, and its days shall not be prolonged.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who have no regard for silver, and have no delight in gold.

18 Their bows7198 also shall dash7376 the young men5288 to pieces; and they shall have no3808 pity7355 on the fruit6529 of the womb;990 their eye5869 shall not3808 spare2347 5921 children.1121

18 The bows of young men shall be broken in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

19 And Babylon,894 the glory6643 of kingdoms,4467 the beauty8597 of the Chaldees'3778 excellency,1347 shall be1961 as when God430 overthrew4114 853 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah.6017
