1 The bur­den of Baby­lon, which Isa­iah the son of Amoz did see. 2 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. 3 I have com­mand­ed my sanc­ti­fied ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that re­joice in my high­ness. 4 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. 5 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. 6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a de­struc­tion from the Almighty. 7 There­fore shall all hands be faint, and ev­ery man's heart shall melt: 8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 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. 12 I will make a man more pre­cious than fine gold; even a man than the gold­en wedge of Ophir. 13 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. 14 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. 15 Ev­ery one that is found shall be thrust through; and ev­ery one that is joined un­to them shall fall by the sword. 16 Their chil­dren also shall be dashed to pieces be­fore their eyes; their hous­es shall be spoiled, and their wives rav­ished. 17 Be­hold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not re­gard sil­ver; and as for gold, they shall not de­light in it. 18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare chil­dren. 19 And Baby­lon, the glo­ry of king­doms, the beau­ty of the Chaldees' ex­cel­len­cy, shall be as when God over­threw Sodom and Go­mor­rah. 20 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. 21 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. 22 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.
