1 # The burden <04853> of Babylon <0894>, which Isaiah <03470> the son <01121> of Amoz <0531> did see <02372> (8804).
2 Lift ye up <05375> (8798) a banner <05251> upon the high <08192> (8737) mountain <02022>, exalt <07311> (8685) the voice <06963> unto them, shake <05130> (8685) the hand <03027>, that they may go <0935> (8799) into the gates <06607> of the nobles <05081>.
3 I have commanded <06680> (8765) my sanctified ones <06942> (8794), I have also called <07121> (8804) my mighty ones <01368> for mine anger <0639>, even them that rejoice <05947> in my highness <01346>.
4 The noise <06963> of a multitude <01995> in the mountains <02022>, like as <01823> of a great <07227> people <05971>; a tumultuous <07588> noise <06963> of the kingdoms <04467> of nations <01471> gathered together <0622> (8737) : the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> mustereth <06485> (8764) the host <06635> of the battle <04421>.
5 They come <0935> (8802) from a far <04801> country <0776>, from the end <07097> of heaven <08064> , even the LORD <03068>, and the weapons <03627> of his indignation <02195>, to destroy <02254> (8763) the whole land <0776> .
6 # Howl <03213> (8685) ye; for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> is at hand <07138>; it shall come <0935> (8799) as a destruction <07701> from the Almighty <07706>.
7 Therefore shall all hands <03027> be faint <07503> (8799), and every man's <0582> heart <03824> shall melt <04549> (8735):
8 And they shall be afraid <0926> (8738): pangs <06735> and sorrows <02256> shall take hold <0270> (8799) of them; they shall be in pain <02342> (8799) as a woman that travaileth <03205> (8802): they shall be amazed <08539> (8799) one <0376> at another <07453>; their faces <06440> shall be as flames <03851>.
9 Behold, the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> cometh <0935> (8804), cruel <0394> both with wrath <05678> and fierce <02740> anger <0639>, to lay <07760> (8800) the land <0776> desolate <08047>: and he shall destroy <08045> (8686) the sinners <02400> thereof out of it.
10 For the stars <03556> of heaven <08064> and the constellations <03685> thereof shall not give <01984> (8686) their light <0216>: the sun <08121> shall be darkened <02821> (8804) in his going forth <03318> (8800), and the moon <03394> shall not cause her light <0216> to shine <05050> (8686).
11 And I will punish <06485> (8804) the world <08398> for their evil <07451>, and the wicked <07563> for their iniquity <05771>; and I will cause the arrogancy <01347> of the proud <02086> to cease <07673> (8689), and will lay low <08213> (8686) the haughtiness <01346> of the terrible <06184>.
12 I will make a man <0582> more precious <03365> (8686) than fine gold <06337>; even a man <0120> than the golden wedge <03800> of Ophir <0211>.
13 Therefore I will shake <07264> (8686) the heavens <08064>, and the earth <0776> shall remove <07493> (8799) out of her place <04725>, in the wrath <05678> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and in the day <03117> of his fierce <02740> anger <0639>.
14 And it shall be as the chased <05080> (8716) roe <06643>, and as a sheep <06629> that no man taketh up <06908> (8764): they shall every man <0376> turn <06437> (8799) to his own people <05971>, and flee <05127> (8799) every one <0376> into his own land <0776>.
15 Every one that is found <04672> (8737) shall be thrust through <01856> (8735); and every one that is joined <05595> (8737) unto them shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719>.
16 Their children <05768> also shall be dashed to pieces <07376> (8792) before their eyes <05869>; their houses <01004> shall be spoiled <08155> (8735), and their wives <0802> ravished <07901> (8735) (8675) <07693> (8735) .
17 Behold, I will stir up <05782> (8688) the Medes <04074> against them, which shall not regard <02803> (8799) silver <03701>; and as for gold <02091>, they shall not delight <02654> (8799) in it.
18 Their bows <07198> also shall dash <07376> <00> the young men <05288> to pieces <07376> (8762) ; and they shall have no pity <07355> (8762) on the fruit <06529> of the womb <0990>; their eye <05869> shall not spare <02347> (8799) children <01121>.
19 # And Babylon <0894>, the glory <06643> of kingdoms <04467>, the beauty <08597> of the Chaldees <03778>' excellency <01347>, shall be as when God <0430> overthrew <04114> Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017>.
20 It shall never <05331> be inhabited <03427> (8799), neither shall it be dwelt <07931> (8799) in from generation <01755> to generation <01755>: neither shall the Arabian <06163> pitch tent <0167> (8762) there; neither shall the shepherds <07462> (8802) make their fold <07257> (8686) there.
21 But wild beasts of the desert <06728> shall lie <07257> (8804) there; and their houses <01004> shall be full <04390> (8804) of doleful creatures <0255>; and owls <01323> <03284> shall dwell <07931> (8804) there, and satyrs <08163> shall dance <07540> (8762) there.
22 And the wild beasts of the islands <0338> shall cry <06030> (8804) in their desolate houses <0490>, and dragons <08577> in their pleasant <06027> palaces <01964>: and her time <06256> is near <07138> to come <0935> (8800) , and her days <03117> shall not be prolonged <04900> (8735).
