13 This is the heavy message about Babylon, which Amots’ son Yeshayah (Isaiah) saw:[ref]
2 Raise a banner on the bare mountain.
Call out to them and wave your hand,
and enter the gates of the princes.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones
as well as angrily summoning warriors—
my boasting, arrogant ones.
4 There’s a loud noise from the mountains,
like that from many people.
It’s the sound of uproar from the kingdoms—
Commander-in-chief Yahweh is mustering an army for battle.
5 They’re coming from a far country,
≈ from the end of the heavens.
They’re the instruments of Yahweh’s judgement,
≈ coming to destroy the entire country.
6 Start wailing because Yahweh’s day is close,
≈ and destruction from the powerful one will come.[ref]
7 That’s why all hands hang limp,
≈ and the heart of every person melts.
8 They’ll have pangs of dismay,
≈ and agony will seize them like a woman who writhes in labour.
They’ll stare at their neighbours in astonishment
with their faces flushed red.
9 Yes, Yahweh’s day is coming—
a cruel day with of fierce anger and rage,
to make the earth a desolate place
as sinners are destroyed from it.
10 The stars in the sky and their constellations
won’t shine their light.
The sun coming out will be dark,
≈ and the moon won’t be shining its light.[ref]
11 I will punish the world for its evil
≈ and the wicked for their disobedience.
I’ll put an end to the pride of the arrogant,
≈ and bring down the arrogance of the ruthless.
12 I’ll make humans more rare than pure gold,
≈ and people more scarce than the gold from Ofir.
13 So I’ll make the sky wobble,
and the earth will be shaken out of its place
by the fury of Commander-in-chief Yahweh
on the day of his raging ≈ anger.
14 Then like a gazelle being hunted
or sheep without a shepherd,
everyone will turn to their own people group
and they’ll all flee back to their own countries.
15 Everyone who’s discovered (in Babylon) will be run through with a spear,
≈ and everyone who’s caught will be killed by the sword.
16 Their children will be smashed to pieces right in front of them.
Their homes will be looted and their wives raped.
17 Listen, I’m stirring the Medes up against them,
who don’t value silver or care about gold.
18 Their arrows will strike down the young men.
They’ll have no mercy on your infants,
≈ and won’t show any pity on your children.
19 Yes, that admirable kingdom of Babylon,[ref]
the pride of the Chaldeans,
will be destroyed by God like Sodom and Amorah (Gomorrah) were.
20 It’ll never be inhabited again,
≈ or lived in from one generation to the next.
The Arabs won’t even set up their tents there,
≈ and the shepherds won’t rest their flocks there.
21 But desert animals will live there,
≈ and jackals will live in the houses.
Ostrich chicks will grow there
≈ and wild goats will romp around there.
22 Hyenas will howl in its towers,
Isa 47:1-15:
47 Come down and sit in the dust you virgin daughter of Babylon.
Sit on the ground without a throne you daughter of the Chaldeans,[ref]
because people won’t call you tender and delicate any more.
2 Turn those millstones and grind flour.
Remove your veil and strip off your skirt.
Uncover your legs to wade through rivers.
3 Your nakedness will be exposed.
≈ Yes, your shame will be visible.
I’ll take vengeance and won’t spare anyone.
4 Commander-in-chief Yahweh is the name of the one who bought our freedom—
Yisrael’s holy one.
5 Sit in silence and go in darkness you daughter of the Chaldeans,
because you’ll no longer be called ‘the queen of kingdoms’.
I defiled my inheritance and handed them over to you.
You showed them no compassion—
even the old had a heavy burden placed on them.
7 You said that you’d be queen forever,
but you didn’t give it enough thought—
you didn’t consider its outcome.
8 Now listen to this you over-indulged woman who lives in security,
saying in her heart, ‘No one else is important except me.[ref]
I’ll never be a widow or lose my children.’
9 But both of these things will suddenly happen to you:
Bereavement and childless will hit in one day.
They’ll come on you with completeness despite your plentiful sorcercies
and the power of your multiple spells.
10 You trusted in your wickedness and thought no one would notice you.
Your wisdom and knowledge has led you astray
and you told yourself that no one else was important except you.
11 Calamity will hit you and you won’t be able to charm it away.
≈ Disaster will fall on you and you won’t be able to avoid it—
≈ disaster like you’ve never known before will come on you suddenly.
12 Keep trusting your spells and your plentiful sorcercies
that you’ve worked hard at since your youth.
Perhaps you’ll be successful—maybe scaring disaster away.
13 You’ve become tired of listening to so much advice.
Please let them stand up and save you—
those ones who chart the skies and divine from moons
to discover what’s going to happen to you.
14 Look, they’ve become like straw that get burnt in a fire.
They can’t rescue themselves from the flames.
There’ll be no coals to warm them—no fire to sit by.
15 That’s what those you worked with have become—those traders from your youth.
Everyone has wandered in their own direction—there’s no rescuer.

8:12:
12 Then the fourth messenger blew his trumpet and a third of the sun and the moon were struck and the sun didn’t shine for a third of the day, nor the moon for a third of the night. One third of the stars were struck and went dark.[ref]
Gen 19:24:
