CHAP. XIII.
1 God mustereth the armies of his wrath. 6 He threatneth to destroy Babylon by the Medes. 19 The desolation of Babylon.
1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the sonne of Amoz did see.
4The noise of a multitude in the mountaines, like as of a great people: a tumultuous noise of the kingdomes of nations gathered together: the Lord of hostes mustereth the hoste of the battell.4
6¶ Howle yee; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7Therefore shall all hands bee faint, and euery mans heart shall melt.7
8And they shalbe afraid: pangs and sorrowes shall take hold of them, they shalbe in paine as a woman that trauelleth: they shalbe amazed one at another, their faces shalbe as flames.8
10For the starres of heauen, and the constellations thereof shall not giue their light: the sunne shalbe darkened in his going forth, and the moone shall not cause her light to shine.10
12I will make a man more pretious then fine gold; euen a man then the golden wedge of Ophir.
16Their children also shalbe dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses shalbe spoiled, & their wiues rauished.16
19¶ And Babylon the glory of kingdomes, the beautie of the Chaldees excellencie, shall be as when God ouerthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.19
21But wilde beastes of the desert shall lye there, and their houses shalbe full of dolefull creatures, and owles shall dwell there, and Satyres shall daunce there.21
22And the wilde beastes of the Ilands shal cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is neere to come, and her dayes shall not be prolonged.22
