The burden
of Babylon,
which Isaiah
the son
of Amoz
did see.
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.
I have commanded
my sanctified ones,
I have also called
my mighty ones
for mine anger,
even them that rejoice
in my highness.
giant
γίγαντες
gigantes
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.

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.

Howl
ye; for the day
of the LORD
is at hand;
it shall come
as a destruction
from the Almighty.
Therefore shall all hands
be faint,
and every man's
heart
shall melt:
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.

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.
incurable
ἀνίατος
aniatos
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.
Ōriōn
Ὠρίων
ōriōn
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.
I will make a man
more precious
than fine gold;
even a man
than the golden wedge
of Ophir.
without fire
ἄπυρον

Souphir

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.
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.
fawn
δορκάδιον

Every one that is found
shall be thrust through;
and every one that is joined
unto them shall fall
by the sword.
Their children
also shall be dashed to pieces
before their eyes;
their houses
shall be spoiled,
and their wives
ravished.
Behold, I will stir up
the Medes
against them, which shall not regard
silver;
and as for gold,
they shall not delight
in it.
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.
And Babylon,
the glory
of kingdoms,
the beauty
of the Chaldees'
excellency,
shall be as when God
overthrew
Sodom
and Gomorrah.
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.
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.
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.
