Isaiah 13

CHAPTER 13 The Vision against Babylon

1 The vision against Babylon which [⁴beheld ¹Isaiah ²son ³of Amoz]. 2 [³upon ⁴a mountain ⁵plain ¹Lift up ²a sign]! Raise up high the voice to them! Do not fear! Call for aid with the hand! Open, O rulers! 3 I order and I lead them; giants come to fill my rage, rejoicing together and insulting. 4 A voice [²nations ¹of many] upon the mountains, like [²nations ¹many]; a voice of kings and nations being brought together. The lord of Hosts has given charge to a nation of armed warriors. 5 They come from out of a land at a distance, from the extremity of the foundation of the heaven; the lord and his armed warriors, to ruin all the world. 6 Shriek! [⁴is near ¹for ²the day ³of the lord], and destruction by God shall come. 7 Because of this every hand shall be loosened, and every soul of man shall be timid. 8 And [³shall be disturbed ¹the ²ambassadors], and [²their pangs ¹they shall have] as a woman giving birth; and they shall lament together, another to another; and they shall be startled; and [²countenance ³as ⁴a flame ¹they shall change]. 9 For behold the day of the lord comes; incurable rage and anger to make the world desolate, and [²the ³sinners ¹to destroy] from out of it. 10 For the stars of the heaven, and Orion, and all the cosmos of the heaven [³of their light ¹shall not ²give]; and [⁴shall be made dark ²of the ³sun ¹the rising], and the moon shall not give her light. 11 And I charge [²to the ⁴world ³entire ¹evils], and to the impious their sins; and I shall destroy the insolence of lawless ones; and [²the insolence ³of the proud ¹I will abase]. 12 And [³will be ¹the ²ones being left ⁵rare ⁴more] than [²gold ¹unfired]; and a man [²more ³rare ¹will be] than the stone, the one of Ophir. 13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from out of its foundation, because of the rage of the anger of the lord of Hosts in the day which ever [²should come about ¹his rage]. 14 And [³will be ¹the ²ones being left behind] as a young doe fleeing, and as a sheep wandering; and there is no one gathering so as for a man [²to ³his people ¹to return]; and a man [²unto ³his own place ¹shall take flight]. 15 For who ever should capture shall be vanquished; and the ones who [²being brought together ¹are] shall fall by sword. 16 And [²their children ¹they shall dash] before them; and [²their houses ¹they shall despoil]; and [²their women ¹they shall have]. 17 Behold, I rouse against you the Medes -- the [²silver ¹ones not considering], nor [³of gold ²need ¹have]. 18 [²the bows ³of young men, ¹They shall break], and [³upon your children ¹in no way ²shall they show mercy], nor [³your children ²spare ¹shall their eyes]. 19 And Babylon will be (the place which is called honorable by the king of the Chaldeans) in which manner [²eradicated ¹God] Sodom and Gomorrah. 20 It shall not be dwelt in into the eon, nor shall they enter into it through many generations, nor shall [²go through ³it ¹the Arabians], nor shepherds in any way shall rest in it. 21 And [²shall rest ³there ¹wild beasts], and they shall fill up the houses with a sound; and [²shall rest ³there ¹sirens], and demons will dance there. 22 And satyrs shall dwell there, and [²shall build a nest ¹hedgehogs] in their houses.
