The burden of Babylon ,
which

see.
The burden of Babylon that
Isaiah son of Amoz hath
seen:
Lift
ye
up
a banner
upon
the
high mountain, exalt
the voice unto
them, shake
the hand, that
they may
go into
the gates
of the
nobles.
`On
a high mountain lift
ye
up
an
ensign
, Raise
the voice to
them, wave
the hand, And
they go in
to
the openings
of nobles.
I have commanded
my sanctified ones, I have also
called my mighty ones for mine anger, even
them
that
rejoice
in
my
highness
.
I have given
charge
to
My sanctified ones, Also
I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those
rejoicing
at
Mine

The
noise
of a multitude in the mountains, like
as
of a great
people ;
a tumultuous
noise
of the kingdoms of nations gathered together:
the
LORD
of hosts mustereth
the
host of the
battle .
A
voice
of a multitude in the mountains, A
likeness
of a numerous
people ,
A voice
of noise
from
the kingdoms of nations who
are
gathered ,
Jehovah
of Hosts inspecting
a
host of battle !
They come
from a far
country
, from the end of heaven,
even
the LORD
, and the weapons
of his indignation, to destroy the whole
land.
They are
coming
in
from a land
afar
off
, From the end of the heavens
, Jehovah
and the instruments
of His indignation, To destroy all
the land.
Howl ye ;
for the day of the
LORD
is
at
hand;
it
shall
come
as a
destruction from the Almighty
.
Howl ye ,
for near
`is'
the day of Jehovah,
As destruction from the Mighty
it
cometh
.
Therefore shall
all hands be
faint
, and every man's
heart shall
melt :
Therefore ,
all hands do
fail
, And every heart of
man
doth
melt .
And they shall
be
afraid:
pangs
and sorrows
shall
take
hold
of
them;
they shall
be
in
pain
as a woman that
travaileth:
they shall
be
amazed
one
at another;
their faces shall
be
as
flames.
And they have
been
troubled,
Pains
and pangs
they take,
As a travailing
woman they are
pained,
A
man
at his
friend
they
marvel,
The
appearance
of
flames
--
their faces !
Behold
, the day of the
LORD
cometh
, cruel
both
with wrath and fierce
anger, to lay
the land desolate:
and
he shall
destroy
the
sinners
thereof
out
of
it.
Lo
, the day of Jehovah
doth
come
, Fierce,
with wrath ,
and heat
of
anger, To make
the land become
a
desolation,
Yea,
its
sinning
ones
He destroyeth
from
it.
For the stars of heaven
and
the constellations 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
.
For the stars of the heavens,
and
their
constellations ,
Cause
not their light to
shine,
Darkened
hath
been
the sun in its
going out
, And the moon causeth
not its
light to come
forth
.
And I will
punish
the world for
their
evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity ;
and I
will
cause
the arrogancy
of the proud to
cease
, and will
lay
low
the haughtiness
of the terrible.
And I have
appointed
on
the world evil, And on
the wicked their iniquity ,
And have
caused
to
cease
the excellency
of the proud, And the excellency
of the terrible I
make
low
.
I will
make a
man more precious
than fine gold ;
even
a man than the
golden
wedge
of Ophir.
I make man more rare
than fine gold ,
And
a common
man than pure
gold
of Ophir.
Therefore I
will
shake
the heavens, 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.
Therefore the heavens I
cause
to
tremble
, And the earth doth
shake
from
its
place, In the wrath of Jehovah
of Hosts, And in a
day of the
heat
of
his anger.
And it shall
be
as the
chased
roe, and as a sheep
that no man
taketh
up:
they
shall
every
man
turn
to
his own
people, and flee
every
one
into
his own
land.
And it hath
been,
as a
roe driven
away
, And as a flock
that hath
no gatherer,
Each
unto
his people --
they
turn
, And each
unto
his land --
they
flee
.
Every one that
is found shall
be
thrust through ;
and every one that
is joined
unto
them
shall
fall
by the
sword.
Every one who
is found is
thrust through ,
And every one who
is added
falleth
by sword.
Their children
also
shall
be
dashed to pieces before their eyes ;
their houses shall
be
spoiled
, and their wives ravished
.
And
their sucklings
are
dashed to pieces before their eyes ,
Spoiled
are
their houses, and their wives lain
with
.
Behold
, I will
stir
up the
Medes
against them, which
shall
not
regard
silver ;
and as
for
gold ,
they shall
not
delight in it.
Lo
, I am
stirring
up against them the
Medes
, Who
silver esteem
not,
And gold --
they delight not
in it.
Their
bows also
shall
dash the
young men to pieces ;
and they
shall
have
no
pity
on
the fruit of the womb ;
their
eyes
shall
not spare
children
.
And
bows dash young men to pieces ,
And the fruit of the womb they
pity
not ,
On
sons
their
eye
hath
no
pity
.
And Babylon, the glory
of kingdoms, the beauty
of
the Chaldees'
excellency, shall
be
as when
God overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah.
And Babylon, the beauty
of kingdoms, The glory,
the excellency of
the
Chaldeans
, Hath
been
as overthrown
by
God ,
With
Sodom and with
Gomorrah.
It
shall
never
be
inhabited
, neither
shall
it
be
dwelt
in
from
generation
to
generation:
neither
shall
the
Arabian
pitch tent there ;
neither
shall
the
shepherds make
their
fold
there.
She
doth
not
sit
for
ever
, Nor
continueth
unto
many
generations,
Nor
doth
Arab
pitch tent there ,
And
shepherds lie
not
down
there.
But
wild
beasts
of
the
desert
shall
lie
there ;
and their houses shall
be
full
of doleful
creatures;
and owls
shall
dwell
there, and satyrs
shall
dance
there.
And
Ziim
have
lain
down
there ,
And full
have
been
their houses of howlings,
And dwelt
there have
daughters
of
an
ostrich
, And goats
do
skip
there.
And the
wild
beasts
of
the
islands
shall
cry
in their
desolate
houses
, and dragons in their
pleasant
palaces :
and her
time
is
near to come, and her days shall
not be
prolonged.
And Aiim
have
responded
in his
forsaken
habitations
, And dragons in palaces of
delight,
And near to come `is'
her
time
, And her days are
not drawn
out!
