[1]The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. |
| [2]Lift ye upH5375[H8798] a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192[H8737] mountainH2022, exaltH7311[H8685] the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130[H8685] the handH3027, that they may goH935[H8799] into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081. |
[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. |
| [3]I have commandedH6680[H8765] my sanctified onesH6942[H8794], I have also calledH7121[H8804] my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346. |
[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. |
| [4]The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622[H8737]: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485[H8764] the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. |
[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. |
| [5]They comeH935[H8802] from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254[H8763] the whole landH776. |
[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. |
| [6]HowlH3213[H8685] ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935[H8799] as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706. |
[6]Howl you, for the day of the Lord is at hand: it shall come as a destroyer from the Almighty. |
| [7]Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503[H8799], and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549:[H8735] |
[7]Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all men's hearts shall melt, |
| [8]And they shall be afraidH926[H8738]: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270[H8799] of them; they shall be in painH2342[H8799] as a woman that travailethH3205[H8802]: they shall be amazedH8539[H8799] oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. |
[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. |
| [9]Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935[H8804], cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760[H8800] the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045[H8686] the sinners thereof out of itH2400. |
[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. |
| [10]For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984[H8686] their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821[H8804] in his going forthH3318[H8800], and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.[H8686] |
[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. |
| [11]And I will punishH6485[H8804] the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673[H8689], and will lay lowH8213[H8686] the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184. |
[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. |
| [12]I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365[H8686] than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211. |
[12]I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even a man above the wedge of gold of Ophir. |
| [13]Therefore I will shakeH7264[H8686] the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493[H8799] out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. |
[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. |
| [14]And it shall be as the chasedH5080[H8716] roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908[H8764]: they shall every manH376 turnH6437[H8799] to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127[H8799] every oneH376 into his own landH776. |
[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. |
| [15]Every one that is foundH4672[H8737] shall be thrust throughH1856[H8735]; and every one that is joinedH5595[H8737] unto them shall fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719. |
[15]Everyone that is found, shall be stricken through: and whosoever joineth himself, shall fall by the sword. |
| [16]Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376[H8792] before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155[H8735], and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901[H8735][H8675][H7693].[H8735] |
[16]Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. |
| [17]Behold, I will stir upH5782[H8688] the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803[H8799] silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in itH8799. |
[17]Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver, nor be desirous of gold. |
| [18]Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376[H8762]; and they shall have no pityH7355[H8762] on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347[H8799] childrenH1121. |
[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. |
| [19]And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. |
[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. |
| [20]It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427[H8799], neither shall it be dweltH7931[H8799] in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167[H8762] there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462[H8802] make their foldH7257 thereH8686. |
[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. |
| [21]But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257[H8804] there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390[H8804] of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323[H3284] shall dwellH7931[H8804] there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 thereH8762. |
[21]But Zijm shall lodge there, and their houses shall be full of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwell there, and the satyrs shall dance there. |
| [22]And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030[H8804] in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935[H8800], and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900.[H8735] |
[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. |
