The Book of Isaiah

Chapter 13

¹The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah son of Amoz saw.

²Upon a bare mountain lift up a signal,

raise voice to them,

wave the hand,

and let them enter the entrances of nobles.

³I, I have commanded my consecrated ones,

I have also called my mighty ones for my anger,

the ones exulting in my majesty.

⁴A sound of a multitude in the mountains,

a likeness of a great people,

a sound of uproar of kingdoms,

nations being gathered,

YHWH of hosts is mustering a host of war.

⁵Coming from a land of distance,

from the end of the heavens,

YHWH and the weapons of his indignation,

to destroy all the earth.

⁶Wail! For near is the Day of YHWH,

like destruction from the Almighty it shall come.

⁷Therefore all hands shall go slack,

and every heart of mortal shall melt.

⁸And they shall be terrified,

pangs and birth-pains shall seize them,

like a woman in labor they shall writhe;

each at his neighbor they shall be astounded,

faces of flames are their faces.

⁹Behold, the Day of YHWH is coming,

cruel, and overflowing wrath and burning of anger,

to make the earth a desolation,

and its sinners he shall destroy from it.

¹⁰For the stars of the heavens and their constellations

shall not flash forth their light;

the sun is dark in its going forth,

and the moon shall not make bright its light.

¹¹And I will visit upon the world evil,

and upon the wicked their iniquity;

and I will cause the pride of the arrogant to cease,

and the majesty of the ruthless I will bring low.

¹²I will make mortal more rare than fine gold,

and man than the gold of Ophir.

¹³Therefore heavens I will cause to tremble,

and the earth shall quake from its place,

in the overflowing wrath of YHWH of hosts,

and in the day of the burning of his anger.

¹⁴And it shall be like a gazelle driven away,

and like sheep with none gathering,

each to his people they shall turn,

and each to his land they shall flee.

¹⁵Everyone who is found shall be pierced through,

and everyone who is swept up shall fall by the sword.

¹⁶And their infants shall be dashed to pieces

before their eyes;

their houses shall be plundered,

and their wives shall be lain with.

¹⁷Behold me, stirring up against them the Medes,

who silver they do not value,

and in gold they do not delight.

¹⁸And bows shall dash young men to pieces,

and on the fruit of the womb they shall have no compassion;

on sons their eye shall not spare.

¹⁹And Babylon — the beauty of kingdoms,

the splendor of the pride of the Chaldeans,

shall become like the overthrow of God

of Sodom and Gomorrah.

²⁰She shall not be inhabited forever,

and she shall not be dwelt in unto generation and generation;

and no Arab shall pitch tent there,

and shepherds shall not make flocks lie down there.

²¹And desert creatures shall lie down there,

and their houses shall be full of howling creatures;

and daughters of the ostrich shall dwell there,

and wild goats shall dance there.

²²And jackals shall howl in its palaces,

and jackals in the palaces of delight;

and near to come is her time,

and her days shall not be prolonged.
