Isaiah 13 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 a standard ^H5251 on the [fn]bare ^H8192 hill ^H2022,

Heighten ^H7311 your voice ^H6963 at them,

Wave ^H5130 the hand ^H3027 that they may enter ^H935 the doors ^H6607 of the nobles ^H5081.

I have commanded ^H6680 My set ^H6942 apart ^H6942 ones,

I have even ^H1571 called ^H7121 My mighty ^H1368 warriors ^H1368,

My [fn]proudly ^H1346 exulting ^H5947 ones ^H5947,

To execute My anger ^H639.

A sound ^H6963 of tumult ^H1995 on the mountains ^H2022,

Like ^H1823 that of many ^H7227 people ^H5971!

A sound ^H6963 of the rumbling ^H7588 of kingdoms ^H4467,

Of nations ^H1471 gathered ^H622 together!

Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 is mustering ^H6485 the host ^H6635 for battle ^H4421.

They are coming ^H935 from a far ^H4801 country ^H776,

From the end ^H7093 of the sky ^H8064,

Yahweh ^H3068 and His instruments ^H3627 of indignation ^H2195,

To wreak ^H2254 destruction ^H2254 on the whole ^H3605 land ^H776.

Wail ^H3213, for the day ^H3117 of Yahweh ^H3068 is near ^H7138!

It will come ^H935 as destruction ^H7701 from [fn]the Almighty ^H7706.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 all ^H3605 hands ^H3027 will fall ^H7503 limp ^H7503,

And every ^H3605 man’s ^H582 heart ^H3824 will melt ^H4549.

They will be terrified ^H926,

Pains ^H6735 and labor ^H2256 pangs ^H2256 will take ^H270 hold ^H270 of them;

They will writhe ^H2342 like a woman in ^H3205 labor ^H3205,

They will look ^H8539 at one ^H376 another ^H7453 in ^H8539 astonishment ^H8539,

Their faces ^H6440 aflame ^H3851.

Behold ^H2009, the day ^H3117 of Yahweh ^H3068 is coming ^H935,

Cruel ^H394, with fury ^H5678 and burning ^H2740 anger ^H639,

To make ^H7760 the land ^H776 a desolation ^H8047;

And He will exterminate ^H8045 its sinners ^H2400 from it.

For the stars ^H3556 of heaven ^H4605 and their constellations ^H3685

Will not flash ^H1984 forth ^H1984 their light ^H216;

The sun ^H8121 will be ^H2821 dark ^H2821 when it rises ^H3318

And the moon ^H3394 will not shed ^H5050 its light ^H216.

Thus I will punish ^H6485 the world ^H8398 for its evil ^H7451

And the wicked ^H7563 for their iniquity ^H5771;

I will also put ^H7673 an ^H7673 end ^H7673 to ^H7673 the pride ^H1347 of the arrogant ^H2086

And bring ^H8213 low ^H8213 the lofty ^H1346 pride ^H1346 of the [fn]ruthless ^H6184.

I will make ^H3365 mortal ^H582 man ^H582 [fn]scarcer ^H3365 than ^H4480 fine ^H6337 gold ^H6337

And mankind ^H120 than ^H4480 the gold ^H3800 of Ophir ^H211.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I will make the heavens ^H8064 tremble ^H7264,

And the earth ^H776 will be shaken ^H7493 from its place ^H4725

At the fury ^H5678 of Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635

In the day ^H3117 of His burning ^H2740 anger ^H639.

And it will be that like a hunted ^H5080 gazelle ^H6643,

Or like sheep ^H6629 with none ^H369 to gather ^H6908 them,

They will each ^H376 turn ^H6437 to his own people ^H5971,

And each ^H376 one ^H376 flee ^H5127 to his own land ^H776.

Anyone ^H3605 who is found ^H4672 will be pierced ^H1856 through ^H1856,

And anyone ^H3605 who is captured ^H5595 will fall ^H5307 by the sword ^H2719.

Their infants ^H5768 also will be dashed ^H7376 to ^H7376 pieces ^H7376

Before their eyes ^H5869;

Their houses ^H1004 will be plundered ^H8155

And their wives ^H802 ravished ^H7693.

Behold ^H2009, I am going to awaken ^H5782 the Medes ^H4074 against ^H5921 them,

Who ^H834 will not think ^H2803 about silver ^H3701 or take ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in gold ^H2091.

And their bows ^H7198 will dash ^H7376 the young ^H5288 men ^H5288 to ^H7376 pieces ^H7376,

They will not even have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the fruit ^H6529 of the womb ^H990,

Nor will their eye ^H5869 pity ^H2347 [fn]children ^H1121.

And it will be that Babylon ^H894, the beauty ^H6643 of kingdoms ^H4467, the [fn]honor ^H8597 of the Chaldeans’ ^H3778 pride ^H1347,

Will be as when God ^H430 overthrew ^H4114 Sodom ^H5467 and Gomorrah ^H6017.

It will never ^H3808 H5331 be inhabited ^H3427 or dwelt ^H7931 in ^H7931 from generation ^H1755 to ^H1755 generation ^H1755;

Nor ^H3808 will the [fn]Arab ^H6163 pitch ^H167 his tent ^H167 there ^H8033,

Nor ^H3808 will shepherds ^H7462 make their flocks lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 there ^H8033.

But desert ^H6728 creatures ^H6728 will lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 there ^H8033,

And their houses ^H1004 will be full ^H4390 of [fn]owls ^H255;

Ostriches ^H3284 also will dwell ^H7931 there ^H8033, and [fn]shaggy ^H8163 goats ^H8163 will leap ^H7540 there ^H8033.

[fn]And hyenas ^H338 will howl ^H6030 in their fortified ^H759 towers ^H759

And jackals ^H8565 in their luxurious ^H6027 palaces ^H1964.

Her fateful time ^H6256 also [fn]will soon ^H7138 come ^H935

And her days ^H3117 will not be prolonged ^H4900.
