H4853
The burden
H894
of Babylon
H3470
, which Isaiah
H1121
the son
H531
of Amoz
H2372 [H8804]
saw.
2
H5375 [H8798]
Lift ye up
H5251
a banner
H8192 [H8737]
upon the high
H2022
mountain
H7311 [H8685]
, exalt
H6963
the voice
H5130 [H8685]
to them, shake
H3027
the hand
H935 [H8799]
, that they may go
H6607
into the gates
H5081
of the nobles.
3
H6680 [H8765]
I have commanded
H6942 [H8794]
my sanctified ones
H7121 [H8804]
, I have also called
H1368
my mighty ones
H639
for my anger
H5947
, even them that rejoice
H1346
in my highness.
4
H6963
The noise
H1995
of a multitude
H2022
in the mountains
H1823
, as
H7227
of a great
H5971
people
H7588
; a tumultuous
H6963
noise
H4467
of the kingdoms
H1471
of nations
H622 [H8737]
gathered together
H3068
: the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H6485 [H8764]
mustereth
H6635
the host
H4421
of the battle.
5
H935 [H8802]
They come
H4801
from a far
H776
country
H7097
, from the end
H8064
of heaven
H3068
, even the LORD
H3627
, and the weapons
H2195
of his indignation
H2254 [H8763]
, to destroy
H776
the whole land.
6
H3213 [H8685]
Wail
H3117
ye; for the day
H3068
of the LORD
H7138
is at hand
H935 [H8799]
; it shall come
H7701
as a destruction
H7706
from the Almighty.
7
H3027
Therefore shall all hands
H7503 [H8799]
be faint
H582
, and every man's
H3824
heart
H4549 [H8735]
shall melt:
8
H926 [H8738]
And they shall be afraid
H6735
: pangs
H2256
and sorrows
H270 [H8799]
shall take hold
H2342 [H8799]
of them; they shall be in pain
H3205 [H8802]
as a woman that travaileth
H8539 [H8799]
: they shall be amazed
H376
one
H7453
at another
H6440
; their faces
H3851
shall be as flames.
9
H3117
Behold, the day
H3068
of the LORD
H935 [H8804]
cometh
H394
, cruel
H5678
both with wrath
H2740
and fierce
H639
anger
H7760 [H8800]
, to lay
H776
the land
H8047
desolate
H8045 [H8686]
: and he shall destroy
H2400
its sinners out of it.
10
H3556
For the stars
H8064
of heaven
H3685
and its constellations
H1984 [H8686]
shall not give
H216
their light
H8121
: the sun
H2821 [H8804]
shall be darkened
H3318 [H8800]
in his going forth
H3394
, and the moon
H216
shall not cause her light
H5050 [H8686]
to shine.
11
H6485 [H8804]
And I will punish
H8398
the world
H7451
for their evil
H7563
, and the wicked
H5771
for their iniquity
H1347
; and I will cause the arrogance
H2086
of the proud
H7673 [H8689]
to cease
H8213 [H8686]
, and will lay low
H1346
the haughtiness
H6184
of the terrible.
12
H582
I will make a man
H3365 [H8686]
more rare
H6337
than fine gold
H120
; even a man
H3800
than the golden wedge
H211
of Ophir.
13
H7264 [H8686]
Therefore I will shake
H8064
the heavens
H776
, and the earth
H7493 [H8799]
shall remove
H4725
out of her place
H5678
, in the wrath
H3068
of the LORD
H6635
of hosts
H3117
, and in the day
H2740
of his fierce
H639
anger.
14
H5080 [H8716]
And it shall be as the chased
H6643
roe
H6629
, and as a sheep
H6908 [H8764]
that no man taketh up
H376
: they shall every man
H6437 [H8799]
turn
H5971
to his own people
H5127 [H8799]
, and flee
H376
every one
H776
to his own land.
15
H4672 [H8737]
Every one that is found
H1856 [H8735]
shall be thrust through
H5595 [H8737]
; and every one that is joined
H5307 [H8799]
to them shall fall
H2719
by the sword.
16
H5768
Their children
H7376 [H8792]
also shall be dashed to pieces
H5869
before their eyes
H1004
; their houses
H8155 [H8735]
shall be plundered
H802
, and their wives
H7901 H7693 [H8735]
ravished.
17
H5782 [H8688]
Behold, I will stir up
H4074
the Medes
H2803 [H8799]
against them, who shall not regard
H3701
silver
H2091
; and as for gold
H2654 [H8799]
, they shall not delight in it.
18
H7198
Their bows
H7376 0
also shall dash
H5288
the young men
H7376 [H8762]
to pieces
H7355 [H8762]
; and they shall have no pity
H6529
on the fruit
H990
of the womb
H5869
; their eye
H2347 [H8799]
shall not spare
H1121
children.
19
H894
And Babylon
H6643
, the glory
H4467
of kingdoms
H8597
, the beauty
H3778
of the Chaldees
H1347
' excellency
H430
, shall be as when God
H4114
overthrew
H5467
Sodom
H6017
and Gomorrah.
20
H5331
It shall never
H3427 [H8799]
be inhabited
H7931 [H8799]
, neither shall it be dwelt
H1755
in from generation
H1755
to generation
H6163
: neither shall the Arabian
H167 [H8762]
pitch tent
H7462 [H8802]
there; neither shall the shepherds
H7257 [H8686]
make their fold there.
