[1] The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. [2] Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. [3] I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones. [4] The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Yahweh of Armies is mustering the army for the battle. [5] They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. [6] Wail, for Yahweh’s day is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. [7] Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt. [8] They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame. [9] Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it. [10] For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. [11] I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible. [12] I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir. [13] Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger. [14] It will happen that like a hunted gazelle and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land. [15] Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword. [16] Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped. [17] Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it. [18] Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children. [19] Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. [20] It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there. [21] But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there. [22] Hyenas will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
King James Version

Concerning the Nations

[1] The burden H4853 of Babylon, H894 which H834 Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 did see. H2372 [2] Lift ye up H5375 a banner H5251 upon H5921 the high H8192 mountain, H2022 exalt H7311 the voice H6963 unto them, shake H5130 the hand, H3027 that they may go H935 into the gates H6607 of the nobles. H5081 [3] I have commanded H6680 my sanctified ones, H6942 I have also called H7121 my mighty ones H1368 for mine anger, H639 even them that rejoice H5947 in my highness. H1346 [4] The noise H6963 of a multitude H1995 in the mountains, H2022 like as H1823 of§ a great H7227 people; H5971 a tumultuous H7588 noise H6963 of the kingdoms H4467 of nations H1471 gathered together: H622 the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 mustereth H6485 the host H6635 of the battle. H4421 [5] They come H935 from a far H4801 country, H776 from the end H7097 of heaven, H8064 even the Lord, H3068 and the weapons H3627 of his indignation, H2195 to destroy H2254 the whole land. H776 [6] Howl H3213 ye; for the day H3117 of the Lord H3068 is at hand; H7138 it shall come H935 as a destruction H7701 from the Almighty. H7706 [7] Therefore shall all hands H3027 be faint, H7503§ and every man’s H582 heart H3824 shall melt: H4549 [8] and they shall be afraid: H926 pangs H6735 and sorrows H2256 shall take hold H270 of them; they shall be in pain H2342 as a woman that travaileth: H3205 they shall be amazed H8539§ one H376 at another; H7453§ their faces H6440 shall be as flames. H3851§ [9] Behold, the day H3117 of the Lord H3068 cometh, H935 cruel H394 both with wrath H5678 and fierce H2740 anger, H639 to lay H7760 the land H776 desolate: H8047 and he shall destroy H8045 the sinners H2400 thereof out of it. [10] For H3588 the stars H3556 of heaven H8064 and the constellations H3685 thereof shall not give H1984 their light: H216 the sun H8121 shall be darkened H2821 in his going forth, H3318 and the moon H3394 shall H216 not H3808 cause her light H216 to shine. H5050 [11] And I will punish H6485 the world H8398 for their evil, H7451 and the wicked H7563 for their iniquity; H5771 and I will cause the arrogancy H1347 of the proud H2086 to cease, H7673 and will lay low H8213 the haughtiness H1346 of the terrible. H6184 [12] I will make a man H582 more precious H3365 than fine gold; H6337 even a man H120 than the golden wedge H3800 of Ophir. H211 [13] Therefore I will shake H7264 the heavens, H8064 and the earth H776 shall remove H7493 out of her place, H4725 in the wrath H5678 of the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 and in the day H3117 of his fierce H2740 anger. H639 [14] And it shall be as the chased H5080 roe, H6643 and as a sheep H6629 that no man taketh up: H6908 they shall every man H376 turn H6437 to his own people, H5971 and flee H5127 every one H376 into his own land. H776 [15] Every H3605 one that is found H4672 shall be thrust through; H1856 and every one that is joined H5595 unto them shall fall H5307 by the sword. H2719 [16] Their children H5768 also shall be dashed to pieces H7376 before their eyes; H5869 their houses H1004 shall be spoiled, H8155 and their wives H802 ravished. H7901 H7693 [17] Behold, I will stir up H5782 H853 the Medes H4074 against H5921 them, which shall not regard H2803 silver; H3701 and as for gold, H2091 they shall H2654 not H3808 delight H2654 in it. [18] Their bows H7198 also shall dash H7376 the young men H5288 to pieces; H7376 and they shall have no pity H7355 on H5921 the fruit H6529 of the womb; H990 their eye H5869 shall H2347 not H3808 spare H2347 children. H1121 [19] And Babylon, H894 the glory H6643 of kingdoms, H4467 the beauty H8597 of the Chaldees’ H3778 excellency, H1347 shall be as when God H430 overthrew H4114 H853 Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah. H6017 [20] It shall never H5331 be inhabited, H3427 neither shall it be dwelt H7931 in from generation H1755 to generation: H1755 neither shall the Arabian H6163 pitch tent H167 there; neither shall the shepherds H7462 make their fold H7257 there. [21] But wild beasts§ of the desert H6728 shall lie H7257 there; and their houses H1004 shall be full H4390 of doleful creatures; H255 and owls H1323 H3284 shall dwell H7931 there, and satyrs H8163 shall dance H7540 there. [22] And the wild beasts of the islands H338§ shall cry H6030 in their desolate§ houses, H490 and dragons H8577 in their pleasant H6027 palaces: H1964 and her time H6256 is near H7138 to come, H935 and her days H3117 shall H4900 not H3808 be prolonged.
