Chapter 13

1


 

  The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.  

 

 

--

5


 

  They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.  

 

 

--

7


 

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

 

 

--

8


 

  And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he will destroy its sinners out of it.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.  

 

 

--

11


 

  And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.  

 

 

--

12


 

  I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one to his own land.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined to them shall fall by the sword.  

 

 

--

16


 

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

 

 

--

17


 

  Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.  

 

 

--

18


 

  Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.  

 

 

--

19


 

  And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellence, 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 Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.  

 

 

--

21


 

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

 

 

--

22


 

  And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
