Chapter
13
- 13:1
- The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
- 13:2
- Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice
unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of
the nobles.
- 13:3
- I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my
mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
- 13:4
- The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great
people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered
together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
- 13:5
- 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.
- 13:6
- Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come
as a destruction from the Almighty.
- 13:7
- Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart
shall melt:
- 13:8
- 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.
- 13:9
- Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath
and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy
the sinners thereof out of it.
- 13:10
- For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall
not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going
forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
- 13:11
- And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked
for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud
to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
- 13:12
- I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man
than the golden wedge of Ophir.
- 13:13
- 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.
- 13:14
- 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 into his own land.
- 13:15
- Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every
one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
- 13:16
- Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their
eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
- 13:17
- Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall
not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in
it.
- 13:18
- Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they
shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall
not spare children.
- 13:19
- And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees'
excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
- 13:20
- 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.
- 13:21
- 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.
- 13:22
- And the wild beasts of the islands 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.
