Isaiah 13:1 The burden4853 of Babylon,894 which Isaiah3470 the son1121 of Amoz531 did see.23722 Lift ye up5375 a banner5251 upon the high8192 mountain,2022 exalt7311 the voice6963 unto them, shake5130 the hand,3027 that they may go935 into the gates6607 of the nobles.50813 I have commanded6680 my sanctified ones,6942 I have also called7121 my mighty ones1368 for mine anger,639even them that rejoice5947 in my highness.13464 The noise6963 of a multitude1995 in the mountains,2022 like as1823 of{Heb. the likeness 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.44215 They come935 from a far4801 country,776 from the end7097 of heaven,8064even the LORD,3068 and the weapons3627 of his indignation,2195 to destroy2254 the whole land.776
Isaiah 13:6 Howl3213 ye; for the day3117 of the LORD3068is at hand;7138 it shall come935 as a destruction7701 from the Almighty.77067 Therefore shall all hands3027 be faint,7503{Or, fall down} and every man's582 heart3824 shall melt:45498 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{Heb. wonder} one376 at another;7453{Heb. every man at his neighbor} their faces6440shallbeas flames.3851{Heb. faces of the flames}9 Behold, 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 of it.
10 For the stars3556 of heaven8064 and the constellations3685 thereof shall not give1984 their light:216 the sun8121 shall be darkened2821 in his going forth,3318 and the moon3394 shall not cause her light216 to shine.505011 And I will punish6485 the world8398 for their evil,7451 and the wicked7563 for their iniquity;5771 and I will cause the arrogancy1347 of the proud2086 to cease,7673 and will lay low8213 the haughtiness1346 of the terrible.618412 I will make a man582 more precious3365 than fine gold;6337 even a man120 than the golden wedge3800 of Ophir.21113 Therefore I will shake7264 the heavens,8064 and the earth776 shall remove7493 out of her place,4725 in the wrath5678 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and in the day3117 of his fierce2740 anger.63914 And it shall be as the chased5080 roe,6643 and as a sheep6629 that no man taketh up:6908 they shall every man376 turn6437 to his own people,5971 and flee5127 every one376 into his own land.77615 Every one that is found4672 shall be thrust through;1856 and every one that is joined5595untothem shall fall5307 by the sword.271916 Their children5768 also shall be dashed to pieces7376 before their eyes;5869 their houses1004 shall be spoiled,8155 and their wives802 ravished.7901769317 Behold, I will stir up5782 the Medes4074 against them, which shall not regard2803 silver;3701 and asfor gold,2091 they shall not delight2654 in it.
18Their bows7198 also shall dash73762794 the young men5288 to pieces;7376 and they shall have no pity7355 on the fruit6529 of the womb;990 their eye5869 shall not spare2347 children.1121
Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon,894 the glory6643 of kingdoms,4467 the beauty8597 of the Chaldees'3778 excellency,1347 shall be as when God430 overthrew4114{Heb. as the overthrowing} Sodom5467 and Gomorrah.601720 It shall never5331 be inhabited,3427 neither shall it be dwelt7931 in from generation1755 to generation:1755 neither shall the Arabian6163 pitch tent167 there; neither shall the shepherds7462 make their fold7257 there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert6728 shall lie7257 there; and their houses1004 shall be full4390 of doleful creatures;255 and owls13233284 shall dwell7931 there, and satyrs8163 shall dance7540 there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands338{Heb. Zim} shall cry6030 in their desolate{Or, palaces} houses,490 and dragons8577 in their pleasant6027 palaces:1964 and her time6256is near7138 to come,935 and her days3117 shall not be prolonged.4900
