Isaiah 13:1-9 ▼

1 This is the burthen of Babylon, whiche Esai the sonne of Amos did see.

2 Lift vp the banner vppon the high hyll, call vnto the, wagge your hande, that they may go into the gates of the princes.

3 I haue commaunded my sanctified, I haue also called my valiaunt ones, ioying in my honour to execute my wrath.

4 There is a noyse of a multitude in the mountaynes, lyke as of a great people, a rushing as though the kingdomes of the nations came together: the Lorde of hoastes mustreth his armye to battayle.

5 They come out of a farre countrey from the ende of the heauen, euen the Lorde hym selfe with the ministers of his wrath, to destroy the whole lande.

6 Mourne ye, for the day of the Lord is at hande, and shall come as a destroyer from the almightie.

7 Therefore shall all handes be letten downe, and all mens heartes shall melt away.

8 They shall stande in feare, carefulnes and sorowe shall come vpon them, and they shal haue payne, as a woman that trauayleth with chylde: One shalbe abashed of another, and their faces shall burne like the flame of fire.

9 Beholde, the day of the Lorde shall come terribly and full of indignation, furie & wrath, to make the lande waste, and to roote out the sinners therof.
