chapter_Isaiah_13
Isaiah 13:1: The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen: Isaiah 13:2: 'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles. Isaiah 13:3: I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.' Isaiah 13:4: A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle! Isaiah 13:5: They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land. Isaiah 13:6: Howl ye, for near is the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh. Isaiah 13:7: Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt. Isaiah 13:8: And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames &#8212; their faces! Isaiah 13:9: Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it. Isaiah 13:10: For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth. Isaiah 13:11: And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low. Isaiah 13:12: I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir. Isaiah 13:13: Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger. Isaiah 13:14: And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people &#8212; they turn, And each unto his land &#8212; they flee. Isaiah 13:15: Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword. Isaiah 13:16: And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with. Isaiah 13:17: Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold &#8212; they delight not in it. Isaiah 13:18: And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity. Isaiah 13:19: And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah. Isaiah 13:20: She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there. Isaiah 13:21: And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there. Isaiah 13:22: And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come is her time, And her days are not drawn out!
