Isaiah:13:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw .
*
On a bare hill raise a signal ,
cry aloud to them ;
wave the hand for them to enter the gates of the nobles .
*
I myself have commanded my consecrated ones ,
have summoned my mighty men to execute my anger ,
my proudly exulting ones .
*
Hark ,
a tumult on the mountains as of a great multitude !
Hark ,
an uproar of kingdoms ,
of nations gathering together !
The LORD of hosts is mustering a host for battle .
*
They come from a distant land ,
from the end of the heavens ,
the LORD and the weapons of his indignation ,
to destroy the whole earth .
*
Wail ,
for the day of the LORD is near ;
as destruction from the Almighty it will come !
*
Therefore all hands will be feeble ,
and every man '
s heart will melt ,
*
and they will be dismayed .
Pangs and agony will seize them ;
they will be in anguish like a woman in travail .
They will look aghast at one another ;
their faces will be aflame .
*
Behold ,
the day of the LORD comes ,
cruel ,
with wrath and fierce anger ,
to make the earth a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it .
*
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations will not give their light ;
the sun will be dark at its rising and the moon will not shed its light .
*
I will punish the world for its evil ,
and the wicked for their iniquity ;
I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant ,
and lay low the haughtiness of the ruthless .
*
I will make men more rare than fine gold ,
and mankind than the gold of Ophir .
*
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble ,
and the earth will be shaken out of its place ,
at the wrath of the LORD of hosts in the day of his fierce anger .
*
And like a hunted gazelle ,
or like sheep with none to gather them ,
every man will turn to his own people ,
and every man will flee to his own land .
