Isaiah 13:1--14:23

13:1

The burden
<04853>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

which Isaiah
<03470>

the son
<01121>

of Amoz
<0531>

did see
<02372> (8804)_.

13:2

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>_.

13:3

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>_.

13:4

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>_.

{like...: Heb. the likeness of}

13:5

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>_.

13:6

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>_.

13:7

Therefore shall all hands
<03027>

be faint
<07503> (8799)_,

and every man's
<0582>

heart
<03824>

shall melt
<04549> (8735)_:

{be faint: or, fall down}

13:8

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>_.

{be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one...: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}

13:9

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.

13:10

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)_.

13:11

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>_.

13:12

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>_.

13:13

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>_.

13:14

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>_.

13:15

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>_.

13:16

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)_.

13:17

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.

13:18

[Their] bows
<07198>

also shall dash
<07376> (0)

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>_.

13:19

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>_.

{as...: Heb. as the overthrowing}

13:20

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.

13:21

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. {wild...: Heb. Ziim} {doleful...: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}

13:22

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)_.

{the wild...: Heb. Iim} {desolate...: or, palaces}

14:1

For the LORD
<03068>

will have mercy
<07355> (8762)

on Jacob
<03290>_,

and will yet choose
<0977> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_,

and set
<03240> (8689)

them in their own land
<0127>_:

and the strangers
<01616>

shall be joined
<03867> (8738)

with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> (8738)

to the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_.

14:2

And the people
<05971>

shall take
<03947> (8804)

them, and bring
<0935> (8689)

them to their place
<04725>_:

and the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

shall possess
<05157> (8694)

them in the land
<0127>

of the LORD
<03068>

for servants
<05650>

and handmaids
<08198>_:

and they shall take them captives
<07617> (8802)_,

whose captives
<07617> (8802)

they were; and they shall rule
<07287> (8804)

over their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_.

{whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}

14:3

And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>

that the LORD
<03068>

shall give thee rest
<05117> (8687)

from thy sorrow
<06090>_,

and from thy fear
<07267>_,

and from the hard
<07186>

bondage
<05656>

wherein thou wast made to serve
<05647> (8795)_,

14:4

That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)

this proverb
<04912>

against the king
<04428>

of Babylon
<0894>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

the golden city
<04062>

ceased
<07673> (8804)_!

{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}

14:5

The LORD
<03068>

hath broken
<07665> (8804)

the staff
<04294>

of the wicked
<07563>_,

[and] the sceptre
<07626>

of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.

14:6

He who smote
<05221> (8688)

the people
<05971>

in wrath
<05678>

with a continual
<01115> <05627>

stroke
<04347>_,

he that ruled
<07287> (8802)

the nations
<01471>

in anger
<0639>_,

is persecuted
<04783>_,

[and] none
<01097>

hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.

{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}

14:7

The whole earth
<0776>

is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,

[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:

they break forth
<06476> (8804)

into singing
<07440>_.

14:8

Yea, the fir trees
<01265>

rejoice
<08055> (8804)

at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>

of Lebanon
<03844>_,

[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,

no feller
<03772> (8802)

is come up
<05927> (8799)

against us.

14:9

Hell
<07585>

from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)

for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)

[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:

it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)

the dead
<07496>

for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>

of the earth
<0776>_;

it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)

from their thrones
<03678>

all the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_.

{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}

14:10

All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)

as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)

unto us?

14:11

Thy pomp
<01347>

is brought down
<03381> (8717)

to the grave
<07585>_,

[and] the noise
<01998>

of thy viols
<05035>_:

the worm
<07415>

is spread
<03331> (8714)

under thee, and the worms
<08438>

cover
<04374>

thee.

14:12

How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

O Lucifer
<01966>_,

son
<01121>

of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!

[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)

to the ground
<0776>_,

which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)

the nations
<01471>_!

{O Lucifer: or, O day star}

14:13

For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

into heaven
<08064>_,

I will exalt
<07311> (8686)

my throne
<03678>

above
<04605>

the stars
<03556>

of God
<0410>_:

I will sit
<03427> (8799)

also upon the mount
<02022>

of the congregation
<04150>_,

in the sides
<03411>

of the north
<06828>_:

14:14

I will ascend
<05927> (8799)

above the heights
<01116>

of the clouds
<05645>_;

I will be like
<01819> (8691)

the most High
<05945>_.

14:15

Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)

to hell
<07585>_,

to the sides
<03411>

of the pit
<0953>_.

14:16

They that see
<07200> (8802)

thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)

upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)

thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>

that made the earth
<0776>

to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,

that did shake
<07493> (8688)

kingdoms
<04467>_;

14:17

[That] made
<07760> (8804)

the world
<08398>

as a wilderness
<04057>_,

and destroyed
<02040> (8804)

the cities
<05892>

thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)

not the house
<01004>

of his prisoners
<0615>_?

{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}

14:18

All the kings
<04428>

of the nations
<01471>_,

[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)

in glory
<03519>_,

every one
<0376>

in his own house
<01004>_.

14:19

But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)

of thy grave
<06913>

like an abominable
<08581> (8737)

branch
<05342>_,

[and as] the raiment
<03830>

of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,

thrust through
<02944> (8794)

with a sword
<02719>_,

that go down
<03381> (8802)

to the stones
<068>

of the pit
<0953>_;

as a carcase
<06297>

trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.

14:20

Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)

with them in burial
<06900>_,

because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)

thy land
<0776>_,

[and] slain
<02026> (8804)

thy people
<05971>_:

the seed
<02233>

of evildoers
<07489> (8688)

shall never
<05769>

be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.

14:21

Prepare
<03559> (8685)

slaughter
<04293>

for his children
<01121>

for the iniquity
<05771>

of their fathers
<01>_;

that they do not
<01077>

rise
<06965> (8799)_,

nor possess
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>_,

nor fill
<04390> (8804)

the face
<06440>

of the world
<08398>

with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.

14:22

For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)

against them, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Babylon
<0894>

the name
<08034>_,

and remnant
<07605>_,

and son
<05209>_,

and nephew
<05220>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

14:23

I will also make
<07760> (8804)

it a possession
<04180>

for the bittern
<07090>_,

and pools
<098>

of water
<04325>_:

and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)

it with the besom
<04292>

of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.
