Isaiah Chapter 13

1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, 
shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones 
for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; 
a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the 
LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, 
and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a 
destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; 
they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed 
one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce 
anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners 
thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give 
their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon 
shall not cause her light to shine.

11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their 
iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will 
lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the 
golden wedge of Ophir.

13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of 
her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his 
fierce anger.

14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh 
up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into 
his own land.

15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that 
is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; 
their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard 
silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall 
have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.

19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' 
excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from 
generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; 
neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall 
be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs 
shall dance there.

22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate 
houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to 
come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

Isaiah Chapter 14

1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and 
set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, 
and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the 
house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants 
and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they 
were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee 
rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage 
wherein thou wast made to serve,

4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and 
say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the 
rulers.

6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that 
ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 
Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it 
stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it 
hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as 
we? art thou become like unto us?

11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: 
the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how 
art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will 
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount 
of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the 
most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, 
saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake 
kingdoms;

17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities 
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every 
one in his own house.

19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as 
the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that 
go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast 
destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall 
never be renowned.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; 
that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the 
world with cities.

22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off 
from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.

23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: 
and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.

24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so 
shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains 
tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his 
burden depart from off their shoulders.

26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this 
is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and 
his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote 
thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a 
cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie 
down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay 
thy remnant.

31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for 
there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his 
appointed times.

32 What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the 
LORD hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

Isaiah Chapter 15

1 The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and 
brought to silence; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and 
brought to silence;

2 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab 
shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be 
baldness, and every beard cut off.

3 In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the 
tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, 
weeping abundantly.

4 And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard even 
unto Jahaz: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his life 
shall be grievous unto him.

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives shall flee unto Zoar, 
an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with 
weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise 
up a cry of destruction.

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered 
away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have 
laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling 
thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beerelim.

9 For the waters of Dimon shall be full of blood: for I will bring more 
upon Dimon, lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant 
of the land.

Isaiah Chapter 16

1 Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, 
unto the mount of the daughter of Zion.

2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering bird cast out of the nest, so 
the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.

3 Take counsel, execute judgment; make thy shadow as the night in the 
midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bewray not him that wandereth.

4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert to them from 
the face of the spoiler: for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler 
ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it 
in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and 
hasting righteousness.

6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud: even of his 
haughtiness, and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies shall not be so.

7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab, every one shall howl: for the 
foundations of Kirhareseth shall ye mourn; surely they are stricken.

8 For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords 
of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are 
come even unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches 
are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.

9 Therefore I will bewail with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: 
I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the 
shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

10 And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and 
in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be 
shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have 
made their vintage shouting to cease.

11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine 
inward parts for Kirharesh.

12 And it shall come to pass, when it is seen that Moab is weary on the 
high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall 
not prevail.

13 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning Moab since that 
time.

14 But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the 
years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all 
that great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and feeble.

Isaiah Chapter 17

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a 
city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which 
shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from 
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the 
children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.

4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall 
be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth 
the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the 
valley of Rephaim.

6 Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive 
tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or 
five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have 
respect to the Holy One of Israel.

8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither 
shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or 
the images.

9 In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an 
uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and 
there shall be desolation.

10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not 
been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant 
pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning 
shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in 
the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

12 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the 
noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing 
like the rushing of mighty waters!

13 The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall 
rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the 
chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before 
the whirlwind.

14 And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. 
This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
