gltv@Isaiah:13:1 @ The burden of Babylon which the son of Amoz saw:

gltv@Isaiah:13:2 @ Lift up a banner on a bare mountain; make the voice rise to them; wave the hand that they may enter the gates of nobles.

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

gltv@Isaiah:13:4 @ The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! A noise of tumult of the kingdoms of nations gathered together; Jehovah of Hosts is calling up an army for the battle.

gltv@Isaiah:13:5 @ They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the weapons of His wrath, to destroy all the land.

gltv@Isaiah:13:6 @ Howl! For the day of Jehovah is at hand. It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

gltv@Isaiah:13:7 @ On account of this all hands shall droop, and every heart of man shall melt;

gltv@Isaiah:13:8 @ and they shall be afraid. Pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain like a woman bearing; they shall be amazed, each man to his neighbor; faces of flames shall be their faces.

gltv@Isaiah:13:9 @ Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel and with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land waste. And He shall destroy its sinners out of it.

gltv@Isaiah:14:5 @ Jehovah has broken the rod of the wicked, the staff of rulers,

gltv@Isaiah:14:6 @ who struck the peoples in wrath, a blow without turning away, ruling the nations in anger, dealing out persecution without restraint.

gltv@Isaiah:14:7 @ All the earth is at rest, quiet; they break forth into singing.

gltv@Isaiah:14:9 @ Sheol from below is stirred for you, to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the departed spirits for you, all the he goats of the earth. It has raised all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

gltv@Isaiah:14:10 @ All of them shall answer and say to you, Are you also made as weak as we? Are you likened to us?

gltv@Isaiah:14:11 @ Your majesty is lowered into Sheol; the noise of your harps. The maggot is spread under you; yea, the worms cover you.

gltv@Isaiah:14:12 @ Oh shining star, son of the morning, how you have fallen from the heavens! You weakening the nations, you are cut down to the ground.

gltv@Isaiah:14:13 @ For you have said In your heart, I will go up to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit in the mount of meeting, in the sides of the north.

gltv@Isaiah:14:14 @ I will rise over the heights of the clouds; I will be compared to the Most High.

gltv@Isaiah:14:18 @ All kings of nations, all of them lie in glory, each man in his house.

gltv@Isaiah:14:19 @ But you are thrown from your grave like a despised branch, like the covering of the slain, those pierced by the sword, those who go down into the stones of the Pit, like a dead body trampled under foot.

gltv@Isaiah:14:20 @ You shall not be united with them in burial, because you ruined your land; you have slain your people; the seed of evildoers shall never be named.

gltv@Isaiah:14:21 @ Prepare for the slaughter of his sons, for the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise and possess the land and fill the face of the earth with cities.
