13:1 The
burden
of
Babylon
that
Isaiah
son
of
Amoz
hath
seen:
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.
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.'
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!
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.
13:6 Howl
ye,
for
near
[is]
the
day
of
Jehovah,
As
destruction
from
the
Mighty
it
cometh.
13:7 Therefore,
all
hands
do
fail,
And
every
heart
of
man
doth
melt.
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--their
faces!
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.
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.
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.
13:12 I
make
man
more
rare
than
fine
gold,
And
a
common
man
than
pure
gold
of
Ophir.
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.
13:14 And
it
hath
been,
as
a
roe
driven
away,
And
as
a
flock
that
hath
no
gatherer,
Each
unto
his
people--they
turn,
And
each
unto
his
land--they
flee.
13:15 Every
one
who
is
found
is
thrust
through,
And
every
one
who
is
added
falleth
by
sword.
13:16 And
their
sucklings
are
dashed
to
pieces
before
their
eyes,
Spoiled
are
their
houses,
and
their
wives
lain
with.
13:17 Lo,
I
am
stirring
up
against
them
the
Medes,
Who
silver
esteem
not,
And
gold--they
delight
not
in
it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
