Isaiah
Chapter 13
(Passion Bible)
Isaiah 13
Ready to read
1
This is the prophecy against Babylon[1] that God revealed to Isaiah, son of Amoz:
2
“Raise high a signal flag on a barren hilltop! Shout out!
3
for I have given orders to my consecrated ones.
4
Listen! A thunderous noise is heard on the mountain,
5
They are coming from a faraway land,
6
Wail, for the day of the Lord Yahweh is near!
7
For this reason, every hand will go limp
8
All the Babylonians will be seized with panic and pain.
9
Behold! The day of the Lord is coming
10
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations[5]
11
“I will bring punishment to the world for its evil
12
I will make a person scarcer than fine gold
13
Therefore, I will make the heavens shudder
14
Like a hunted gazelle, each will return to his own people,
15
Captured ones will be slain,
16
Their infants will be dashed to pieces
17
Behold! I am stirring up the Medes[10] against them,
18
They will slaughter the young men,[11]
19
God will overthrow Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
20
Babylon will never rise again,
21
Wild animals will roam there,
22
Hyenas will howl in her houses,
