1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw .
2Set up a banner on the bare mountain ! Lift up your voice to them ! Wave your hand , that they may go into the gates of the nobles .
3I have commanded my consecrated ones ; yes , I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones .
4The noise of a multitude is in the mountains , as of a great people ; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together ! The LORD of Armies is mustering the army for the battle .
5They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven , even the LORD , and the weapons of his indignation , to destroy the whole land .
6Wail , for the LORD ’s day is at hand ! It will come as destruction from the Almighty .
7Therefore all hands will be feeble , and everyone ’s heart will melt .
8They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them . They will be in pain like a woman in labour . They will look in amazement one at another . Their faces will be faces of flame .
9Behold , the day of the LORD comes , cruel, with wrath and fierce anger ; to make the land a desolation , and to destroy its sinners out of it .
10For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light . The sun will be darkened in its going out , and the moon will not cause its light to shine .
11I will punish the world for their evil , and the wicked for their iniquity . I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease , and will humble the arrogance of the terrible .
12I will make people more rare than fine gold , even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.
13Therefore I will make the heavens tremble , and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the LORD of Armies ’ wrath , and in the day of his fierce anger .
14It will happen that like a hunted gazelle and like sheep that no one gathers , they will each turn to their own people , and will each flee to their own land.
15Everyone who is found will be thrust through . Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword .
16Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes . Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped .
17Behold , I will stir up the Medes against them , who will not value silver , and as for gold , they will not delight in it .
18Their bows will dash the young men in pieces ; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children .
19Babylon, the glory of kingdoms , the beauty of the Chaldeans ’ pride , will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah .
20It will never be inhabited , neither will it be lived in from generation to generation . The Arabian will not pitch a tent there , neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there .
21But wild animals of the desert will lie there , and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there , and wild goats will frolic there .
22Hyenas will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces . Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged .
