13:1 The
burden
of
Babylon,
which
Isaiah
the
son
of
Amoz
did
see.
13:2 Set
ye
up
an
ensign
upon
the
bare
mountain,
lift
up
the
voice
unto
them,
wave
the
hand,
that
they
may
go
into
the
gates
of
the
nobles.
13:3 I
have
commanded
my
consecrated
ones,
yea,
I
have
called
my
mighty
men
for
mine
anger,
even
my
proudly
exulting
ones.
13:4 The
noise
of
a
multitude
in
the
mountains,
as
of
a
great
people!
the
noise
of
a
tumult
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
nations
gathered
together!
Jehovah
of
hosts
is
mustering
the
host
for
the
battle.
13:5 They
come
from
a
far
country,
from
the
uttermost
part
of
heaven,
even
Jehovah,
and
the
weapons
of
his
indignation,
to
destroy
the
whole
land.
13:6 Wail
ye;
for
the
day
of
Jehovah
is
at
hand;
as
destruction
from
the
Almighty
shall
it
come.
13:7 Therefore
shall
all
hands
be
feeble,
and
every
heart
of
man
shall
melt:
13:8 and
they
shall
be
dismayed;
pangs
and
sorrows
shall
take
hold
[of
them];
they
shall
be
in
pain
as
a
woman
in
travail:
they
shall
look
in
amazement
one
at
another;
their
faces
[shall
be]
faces
of
flame.
13:9 Behold,
the
day
of
Jehovah
cometh,
cruel,
with
wrath
and
fierce
anger;
to
make
the
land
a
desolation,
and
to
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
its
going
forth,
and
the
moon
shall
not
cause
its
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
rare
than
fine
gold,
even
a
man
than
the
pure
gold
of
Ophir.
13:13 Therefore
I
will
make
the
heavens
to
tremble,
and
the
earth
shall
be
shaken
out
of
its
place,
in
the
wrath
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
and
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
anger.
13:14 And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
as
the
chased
roe,
and
as
sheep
that
no
man
gathereth,
they
shall
turn
every
man
to
his
own
people,
and
shall
flee
every
man
to
his
own
land.
13:15 Every
one
that
is
found
shall
be
thrust
through;
and
every
one
that
is
taken
shall
fall
by
the
sword.
13:16 Their
infants
also
shall
be
dashed
in
pieces
before
their
eyes;
their
houses
shall
be
rifled,
and
their
wives
ravished.
13:17 Behold,
I
will
stir
up
the
Medes
against
them,
who
shall
not
regard
silver,
and
as
for
gold,
they
shall
not
delight
in
it.
13:18 And
[their]
bows
shall
dash
the
young
men
in
pieces;
and
they
shall
have
no
pity
on
the
fruit
of
the
womb;
their
eye
shall
not
spare
children.
13:19 And
Babylon,
the
glory
of
kingdoms,
the
beauty
of
the
Chaldeans'
pride,
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
shepherds
make
their
flocks
to
lie
down
there.
13:21 But
wild
beasts
of
the
desert
shall
lie
there;
and
their
houses
shall
be
full
of
doleful
creatures;
and
ostriches
shall
dwell
there,
and
wild
goats
shall
dance
there.
13:22 And
wolves
shall
cry
in
their
castles,
and
jackals
in
the
pleasant
palaces:
and
her
time
is
near
to
come,
and
her
days
shall
not
be
prolonged.
