이사야 13장 NASB
- 1 The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
- 2 Lift up a standard on the bare hill Raise your voice to them Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.
- 3 I have commanded My consecrated ones I have even called My mighty warriors My proudly exulting ones To execute My anger.
- 4 A sound of tumult on the mountains Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle.
- 5 They are coming from a far country From the farthest horizons The LORD and His instruments of indignation To destroy the whole land.
- 6 Wail for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
- 7 Therefore all hands will fall limp And every man's heart will melt.
- 8 They will be terrified Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor They will look at one another in astonishment Their faces aflame.
- 9 Behold the day of the LORD is coming Cruel with fury and burning anger To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.
- 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light.
- 11 Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud And abase the haughtiness of the ruthless.
- 12 I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold And mankind than the gold of Ophir.
- 13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger.
- 14 And it will be that like a hunted gazelle Or like sheep with none to gather them They will each turn to his own people And each one flee to his own land.
- 15 Anyone who is found will be thrust through And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
- 16 Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished.
- 17 Behold I am going to stir up the Medes against them Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold.
- 18 And their bows will mow down the young men They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb Nor will their eye pity children.
- 19 And Babylon the beauty of kingdoms the glory of the Chaldeans' pride Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
- 20 It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
- 21 But desert creatures will lie down there And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches also will live there and shaggy goats will frolic there.
- 22 Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged.
