mkjv@Isaiah:13:3 @ I have commanded My holy ones, I have also called My mighty ones for anger, those who rejoice in My highness.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:4 @ The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together; Jehovah of hosts gathers an army for the battle.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:5 @ They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens, the LORD and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy all the land.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:6 @ Howl! For the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:7 @ Therefore all hands shall be faint, and every man's heart shall melt;

mkjv@Isaiah:13:8 @ and they shall be afraid. Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them. They shall be in pain like a woman who travails. They shall be amazed at one another, their faces [like] flames.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:9 @ Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel and [with] wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land waste; and He shall destroy its sinners out of it.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:10 @ For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not reflect its light.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:11 @ And I will visit evil on the world, and their iniquity on the wicked. And I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the pride of tyrants.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:12 @ I will make a man more precious than gold; even a man than the fine gold of Ophir.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:13 @ So I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:14 @ And it shall be as a driven gazelle, and as a sheep that no man takes up; each man shall look to his own people, and each one flee into his own land.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:15 @ Everyone who is found shall be thrust through; and everyone who is joined [to them] shall fall by the sword.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:18 @ And bows shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not pity sons.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:20 @ It shall never be inhabited forever, nor shall it be lived in from generation to generation; nor shall the Arabian pitch his tent there; nor shall the shepherds make their [flocks] lie down there.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:21 @ But the wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of howling creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and he-goats shall dance there.

mkjv@Isaiah:13:22 @ And hyenas shall cry along with his widows, and jackals in palaces of delight. Yea, her time is coming near, and her days shall not be prolonged.
