Isaiah 13
13
End of Babylon and the World
1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
2Lift up a banner on a bare mountain, raise a voice to them, wave a hand, so that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3I have commanded My consecrated ones, yes, I have called My mighty ones, My proud exulting ones, for My fury.
4A sound of tumult in the mountains like that of many people! A sound of uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathered! Adonai-Tzva’ot is mustering the army for battle.
5They are coming from a far country— from the end of the heavens— Adonai and the weapons of His wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6Wail, for the day of Adonai is near! it will come as destruction from Shaddai.
7Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
8They will be terrified; pain and anguish will take hold of them; they will writhe as a woman in labor; they will look aghast at one another— their faces aflame!
9Behold, the day of Adonai comes, cruel, full of wrath and fierce fury, to make the earth a desolation, and destroy its sinners from it.
10For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
11I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, and abase the insolence of tyrants.
12I will make people scarcer than gold, even than the pure gold of Ophir.
13Therefore I will make heaven tremble, and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of Adonai-Tzva’ot, in the day of His fierce fury.
14It will be like a hunted gazelle, or like sheep with no one gathering. Each will return to his own people, each will flee to his own country.
15Everyone found will be thrust through. Everyone caught will fall by the sword.
16Their babes will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be plundered, and their wives ravished.
17Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who will not value silver and will take no delight in gold.
18Their bows will cut down the young men, with no pity on the fruit of the womb, nor will their eye spare children.
19So Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of Chaldean pride, will be just as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20It will never be inhabited, nor will it be dwelt in from generation to generation, nor will an Arab pitch a tent there, nor will shepherds let flocks lie there.
21But desert creatures will lie there. Their houses will be full of owls. Ostriches will dwell there, and goat-demons will dance there.
22Hyenas will howl in their citadels and jackals in their pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come— her days will not drag on long.

Isaiah 13
13
1The burden of Babel, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see. 2Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles. 3I haue commanded them, that I haue sanctified: and I haue called ye mightie to my wrath, and them that reioyce in my glorie. 4The noyse of a multitude is in the mountaines, like a great people: a tumultuous voyce of the kingdomes of the nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes nombreth the hoste of the battell. 5They come from a farre countrey, from the end of the heauen: euen the Lord with the weapons of his wrath to destroy the whole land. 6Howle you, for the day of the Lord is at hande: it shall come as a destroier from the Almightie. 7Therefore shall all hands be weakened, and all mens hearts shall melt, 8And they shalbe afraid: anguish and sorowe shall take them, and they shall haue paine, as a woman that trauaileth: euery one shall be amased at his neighbour, and their faces shalbe like flames of fire. 9Beholde, the day of the Lord commeth, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger to lay the land wast: and he shall destroy the sinners out of it. 10For the starres of heauen and the planets thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going foorth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine. 11And I will visite the wickednes vpon the worlde, and their iniquitie vpon the wicked, and I wil cause the arrogancie of the proud to cease, and will cast downe the pride of tyrants. 12I will make a man more precious then fine golde, euen a man aboue the wedge of golde of Ophir. 13Therefore I will shake the heauen, and the earth shall remooue out of her place in the wrath of the Lord of hostes, and in the day of his fierce anger. 14And it shall be as a chased doe, and as a sheepe that no man taketh vp. euery man shall turne to his owne people, and flee eche one to his owne lande. 15Euery one that is founde, shall be striken through: and whosoeuer ioyneth himselfe, shall fal by the sworde. 16Their children also shall be broken in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be spoiled, and their wiues rauished. 17Beholde, I will stirre vp the Medes against them, which shall not regarde siluer, nor be desirous of golde. 18With bowes also shall they destroy ye children, and shall haue no compassion vpon the fruit of the wombe, and their eies shall not spare the children. 19And Babel the glorie of kingdomes, the beautie and pride of the Chaldeans, shall be as the destruction of God in Sodom and Gomorah. 20It shall not bee inhabited for euer, neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, neither shall the shepheardes make their foldes there. 21But Ziim shall lodge there, and their houses shall be ful of Ohim: Ostriches shall dwel there, and the Satyrs shall dance there. 22And Iim shall crie in their palaces, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and the time thereof is readie to come, and the daies thereof shall not be prolonged.
