13The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain,Lift up the voice unto them,Wave the hand, that they may goInto the gates of the nobles.3I have commanded My consecrated ones,Yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger,Even My proudly exulting ones.4Hark, a tumult in the mountains,Like as of a great people!Hark, the uproar of the kingdomsOf the nations gathered together!The Lord of hosts musterethThe host of the battle. 5They come from a far country,From the end of heaven,Even the Lord, and the weapons of His indignation,To destroy the whole earth.6Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand;As destruction from the Almighty shall it come.7Therefore shall all hands be slack,And every heart of man shall melt.8And they shall be affrighted; 12Pangs and throes shall take hold of them;They shall be in pain as a woman in travail;They shall look aghast one at another;Their faces shall be faces of flame. 9Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,Cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger;To make the earth a desolation,And to destroy the sinners thereof out of it,10For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereofShall not give their light;The sun shall be darkened in his going forth,And the moon shall not cause her light to shine.11And I will visit upon the world their evil,And upon the wicked their iniquity;And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,And will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.12I will make man more rare than fine gold,Even man than the pure gold of Ophir. 13Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble,And the earth shall be shaken out of her place,For the wrath of the Lord of hosts,And for the day of His fierce anger.14And it shall come to pass, that as the chased gazelle,And as sheep that no man gathereth,They shall turn every man to his own people,And shall flee every man to his own land.15Every one that is found shall be thrust through;And every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.16Their babes also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes;Their houses shall be spoiled,And their wives ravished. 17Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them,Who shall not regard silver,And as for gold, they shall not delight in it.18And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces;And they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb;Their eye shall not spare children.19And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,The beauty of the Chaldeans' pride,Shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 20It 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.21But wild-cats shall lie there;And their houses shall be full of ferrets;And ostriches shall dwell there,And satyrs shall dance there.22And jackals shall howl in their castles,And wild-dogs in the pleasant palaces;And her time is near to come,And her days shall not be prolonged.
14For the Lord will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 2And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
3And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve, 4that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say:
How hath the oppressor ceased!The exactress of gold ceased!5The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked,The sceptre of the rulers,6That smote the peoples in wrathWith an incessant stroke,That ruled the nations in anger,With a persecution that none restrained.7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet;They break forth into singing.8Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee,And the cedars of Lebanon:'Since thou art laid down,No feller is come up against us.' 9The nether-world from beneath is moved for theeTo meet thee at thy coming;The shades are stirred up for thee,Even all the chief ones of the earth;All the kings of the nationsAre raised up from their thrones.10All they do answerAnd say unto thee:'Art thou also become weak as we?Art thou become like unto us?11Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world,And the noise of thy psalteries;The maggot is spread under thee,And the worms cover thee.' 12How art thou fallen from heaven,O day-star, son of the morning!How art thou cut down to the ground,That didst cast lots over the nations!13And thou saidst in thy heart:'I will ascend into heaven,Above the stars of God Will I exalt my throne,And I will sit upon the mount of meeting,In the uttermost parts of the north;14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;I will be like the Most High.'15Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world,To the uttermost parts of the pit. 16They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee,They gaze earnestly at thee:'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,That did shake kingdoms;17That made the world as a wilderness,And destroyed the cities thereof;That opened not the house of his prisoners?'18All the kings of the nations,All of them, sleep in glory,Every one in his own house.19But thou art cast forth away from thy graveLike an abhorred offshoot,In the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword,That go down to the pavement of the pit,As a carcass trodden under foot.20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial,Because thou hast destroyed thy СКАЧАТЬ
