| [1]The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. |
[1]This is the burthen of Babylon, whiche Esai the sonne of Amos did see |
| [2]Lift up a standard upon the high mountain: lift up the voice unto them: wag the hand that they may go into the gates of the nobles. |
[2]Lift vp the banner vppon the high hyll, call vnto the, wagge your hande, that they may go into the gates of the princes |
| [3]I have commanded them, that I have sanctified: and I have called the mighty to my wrath, and them that rejoice in my glory. |
[3]I haue commaunded my sanctified, I haue also called my valiaunt ones, ioying in my honour to execute my wrath |
| [4]The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, like a great people: a tumultuous voice of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts numbereth the host of the battle. |
[4]There is a noyse of a multitude in the mountaynes, lyke as of a great people, a rushing as though the kingdomes of the nations came together: the Lorde of hoastes mustreth his armye to battayle |
| [5]They come from a far country, from the end of the heaven: even the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land. |
[5]They come out of a farre countrey from the ende of the heauen, euen the Lorde hym selfe with the ministers of his wrath, to destroy the whole lande |
| [6]Howl you, for the day of the Lord is at hand: it shall come as a destroyer from the Almighty. |
[6]Mourne ye, for the day of the Lord is at hande, and shall come as a destroyer from the almightie |
| [7]Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all men's hearts shall melt, |
[7]Therefore shall all handes be letten downe, and all mens heartes shall melt away |
| [8]And they shall be afraid: anguish and sorrow shall take them, and they shall have pain, as a woman that travaileth: every one shall be amazed at his neighbor, and their faces shall be like flames of fire. |
[8]They shall stande in feare, carefulnes and sorowe shall come vpon them, and they shal haue payne, as a woman that trauayleth with chylde: One shalbe abashed of another, and their faces shall burne like the flame of fire |
| [9]Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land waste: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it. |
[9]Beholde, the day of the Lorde shall come terribly and full of indignation, furie & wrath, to make the lande waste, and to roote out the sinners therof |
| [10]For the stars of heaven and the planets thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. |
[10]For the starres and planettes of heauen shall not geue their light, the sunne shalbe darkened in the rising, and the moone shall not shine with her light |
| [11]And I will visit the wickedness upon the world, and their iniquity upon the wicked, and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will cast down the pride of tyrants. |
[11]And I wyll visite the wickednesse of the worlde, and the sinnes of the vngodlye. The high stomakes of the proude wyll I take away, and will lay downe the boasting of the tiraunt |
| [12]I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even a man above the wedge of gold of Ophir. |
[12]I wyll make a man dearer then fine gold, and a man to be more worth then a golden wedge of Ophir |
| [13]Therefore I will shake the heaven, and the earth shall remove out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. |
[13]Therfore I wyll shake the heauens, and the earth shall remoue out of her place in the wrath of the Lorde of hoastes, and in the day of his fearefull indignation |
| [14]And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up. Every man shall turn to his own people, and flee each one to his own land. |
[14]And [Babylon] shalbe as an hunted or chased Doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp: Euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one into his owne lande |
| [15]Everyone that is found, shall be stricken through: and whosoever joineth himself, shall fall by the sword. |
[15]Whoso is founde shalbe shot thorowe: and whoso taketh their part, shalbe destroyed with the sworde |
| [16]Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. |
[16]Their chyldren shalbe slayne before their eyes: their house spoyled, and their wiues rauished |
| [17]Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver, nor be desirous of gold. |
[17]For lo, I shall bring vp the Medes against them, whiche shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde |
| [18]With bows also shall they destroy the children, and shall have no compassion upon the fruit of the womb, and their eyes shall not spare the children. |
[18]With bowes shall they destroy the young men, and haue no pitie on women with chylde, and their faces shall not spare the chyldren |
| [19]And Babylon the glory of kingdoms, the beauty and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorrah. |
[19]And Babylon that glory of kingdomes, and beautie of the Chaldees honour shalbe destroyed, euen as God destroyed Sodome and Gomor |
| [20]It shall not be inhabited forever; neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepherds make their folds there. |
[20]It shall not endure for euer, neither shall there be any more dwelling there from generation to generation: The Arabians shall pitche no tentes there, neither shall the sheepheardes make their foldes there any more |
| [21]But Zijm shall lodge there, and their houses shall be full of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwell there, and the satyrs shall dance there. |
[21]But fearefull wylde beastes shall lye there, and the houses shalbe ful of great Owles, Estriches shall dwell there, and Apes shall daunce there |
| [22]And Iim shall cry in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is ready to come, and the days thereof shall not be prolonged. |
[22]Wylde cattes shall crye in the palaces, and dragons shalbe in the pleasaunt houses: And as for Babylons tyme it is at hande, and her dayes shall not be prolonged |
