*
A prophecy concerning Babylon ,
which Isaiah ,
the son of Amoz ,
saw .
*
Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner ;
Cry aloud to them ,
wave the hand ,
That they may enter the gates of the tyrants !
*
I have given orders to my consecrated ones ,
Yea ,
I have called upon my mighty ones to execute mine anger ,
My proud exulters !
*
The noise of a multitude upon the mountains ,
like that of a great people !
The tumultuous noise of kingdoms ,
of nations gathered together !
Jehovah of hosts mustereth his army for battle .
*
They come from a distant country ,
From the end of Heaven ,
Jehovah and the instruments of his indignation .
To lay waste the whole land .
*
Howl ye ,
for the day of Jehovah is at hand !
Like a destruction from the Almighty ,
it cometh ;
*
Therefore shall all hands hang down ,
And every heart of man shall melt .
*
They shall be in consternation ;
Distress and anguish shall lay hold of them ;
As a woman in travail shall they writhe ;
They shall look upon one another with amazement :
Their faces shall glow like flames .
*
Behold !
the day of Jehovah cometh ,
Terrible ,
full of wrath and burning indignation ,
To make the land a waste ,
And to destroy the sinners out of it .
*
For the stars of heaven ,
and the constellations thereof ,
Shall not give their light ;
The sun shall be darkened at his going forth ,
And the moon shall withhold her light .
*
For I will punish the world for its guilt ,
And the wicked for their iniquity .
I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud ,
And I will bring down the haughtiness of the tyrants .
*
I will make men scarcer than gold ;
Yea ,
men than the gold of Ophir .
*
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble ,
And the earth shall be shaken out of her place ,
In the anger of Jehovah of hosts ,
In the day of his burning indignation .
*
Then shall they be like a chased doe ;
Like a flock ,
which no one gathereth together ;
Every one shall turn to his own people ,
And every one flee to his own land .
