13 Oracle on Babylon: a vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz.
2 On a bare height raise the signal,
and cry aloud to them.
Wave you the hand that they enter
the gates of those lordly men.
3 I have myself commissioned
my consecrated servants
to execute my anger.
Yea, I have summoned my warriors,
my proudly exultant ones.
4 Hark! On the hills a tumult
as of a mighty multitude.
Hark! It’s the roar of kingdoms,
of nations gathering together.
The Lord of Hosts is mustering
his army for the battle.
5 They come from a distant land,
from the uttermost end of heaven –
the Lord, with his weapons of wrath,
to ruin all the earth.
6 Wail! For the day of the Lord is nigh,
like destruction from God Almighty it comes.
7 All hands will therefore hang helpless,
each mortal heart will melt,
8 and men will be confounded.
Taken with throes and pangs,
they will writhe like a woman in travail.
They will look on each other astonished,
with faces all aflame.
9 Behold! The Lord comes,
with wrath and hot anger cruel,
to make earth a desolation
and destroy the sinners upon it.
10 The heavens and their constellations
will not flash any light;
the sun will be dark when it rises,
no light of moon will shine.
11 I will punish the world for its evil,
the godless for their guilt;
I will still the conceit of the arrogant,
the tyrant’s pride lay low.
12 And men will be rarer than gold,
yea, mortals than gold of Ophir.
13 The heavens will therefore tremble,
and the earth quake out of her place,
at the wrath of the Lord of Hosts
in the day of the heat of his anger.
14 And then, like a hunted gazelle,
or like sheep that have no one to fold them,
will each set his face to his people,
and each to his own land flee.
15 Whoso is found will be stabbed,
by the sword he will fall who is caught.
16 Their babes will be dashed in pieces
before their very eyes;
their houses will be plundered,
and ravished their wives will be.
17 Behold! I already am stirring
the people of media against them:
no thought have they of silver,
no pleasure take they in gold.
18 (They grasp their) bows (and spears,
fearful are they and cruel;
they will smite) the young men (all,
and the maids) will be dashed in pieces.
To the fruit of the womb they are ruthless,
and children they eye without pity.
19 Thus Babylon, fairest of kingdoms,
the glory and pride of Chaldea,
will perish with doom like the doom
to which God hurled Gomorrah and Sodom.
20 For ever she will be desolate,
tenantless age after age.
No nomad will pitch his tent there,
no shepherd will fold his flock there;
21 but there will wild cats lie,
and their homes will be crowded with jackals.
And there will ostriches dwell,
and there will satyrs dance,
22 hyenas will howl in her castles,
and wolves in her halls of delight.
Her time is wellnigh come,
her day lasts not much longer.
Song of triumph over the fall of Babylon’s king
