¹ The doom of Babylon, which Isaiah Amoz’ son foresaw. ² Upon a high mountain lift ye up a banner, raise high your voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may enter into the gates of the princes. ³ I have charged my prepared ones, I have also called my heroes for my anger, those that rejoice in my highness. ⁴ There is a noise of tumult on the mountains, like that of a numerous people; a noise of shouting of kingdoms of nations assembled; the Lord of hosts mustereth a host of battle. ⁵ They are coming from a far-off country, from the end of the heavens, here is the Lord, with the weapons of his indignation, to destroy all the land. ⁶ Wail ye; for nigh is the day of the Lord; like wasting from the Almighty shall it come. ⁷ Therefore all hands shall become weak, and every mortal’s heart shall melt; ⁸ And they shall be affrighted, pangs and pains shall seize on them; they shall have throes as a woman that travaileth; one at the other shall they look amazed; red like flames shall their faces glow. ⁹ Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, direful, laden with wrath and the fierceness of anger, to render the earth desolate: and its sinners will he destroy out of it. ¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give forth their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not shed abroad her light. ¹¹ And I will visit on the world its evil, and on the wicked their iniquity; and I will stop the arrogance of the presumptuous, and the haughtiness of the tyrants will I humble. ¹² I will make the mortal more precious than fine gold; and man, more than the valued metal of Ophir. ¹³ Therefore will I shake the heavens, and the earth shall start quaking out of her place, at the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and on the day of his fierce anger. ¹⁴ And the people shall be as the chased roe, and as flocks which no one gathereth up; every man to his own people shall they turn, and every man into his own land shall they flee. ¹⁵ Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. ¹⁶ And their babes shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes: spoiled shall be their houses, and their wives ravished. ¹⁷ Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes; who will not regard silver, and who will not delight in gold. ¹⁸ And their bows will dash young men to pieces; and on the fruit of the womb will they have no mercy; on children their eye will not look with pity. ¹⁹ And thus shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the proud ornament of the Chaldeans, become like the overthrow through God of Sodom and Gomorrah. ²⁰ It shall not be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be dwelt in from generation to generation; nor shall the Arabian pitch there his tent; and shepherds shall not let their flocks rest there. ²¹ But there shall rest the wild beasts of the desert; and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and evil spirits shall dance there. ²² And jackals shall howl in her palaces, and monsters in the temples of pleasure; and near to come is her time, and her days shall not be extended.

¹ The doom of the desert by the sea. As tempests in the south blow with fury; so doth it come from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A hard vision hath been told unto me; the traitor dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. “Go up, O ‘Elam; besiege, O Media;” all sighing have I caused to cease. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see. ⁴ My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror. ⁵ Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell. ⁷ And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed: ⁸ And he calleth like a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights. ⁹ And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground. ¹⁰ O my down-trodden people, and the son of my threshingfloor: that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I told unto you. ¹¹ The doom of Dumah. Unto me one calleth out of Se’ir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? ¹² The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will desire, desire ye; return, come again. ¹³ The doom upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanim. ¹⁴ Toward him that is thirsty they bring water; the inhabitants of the land of Thema meet with suitable bread the fugitive. ¹⁵ Because from the swords are they fled, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the pressure of war. ¹⁶ For thus hath said the Lord unto me, Within yet one year, like the years of a hired laborer, shall all the glory of Kedar be at an end: ¹⁷ And the residue of the number of bows of the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be small; for the Lord the God of Israel hath spoken it.

¹ The doom of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; for it is laid waste, without house, without entrance: from the land of Kittim hath it been revealed to them. ² Be silent, ye inhabitants of the coast-land: the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea formerly filled thee. ³ And on mighty waters came the seed of Shichor, the harvest of the stream, as her revenue; and she became the mart of nations. ⁴ Be ashamed, O Zion; for spoken hath the sea, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I travailed not, nor brought forth children, neither did I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. ⁵ As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they tremble at the report of Tyre. ⁶ Pass ye over to Tharshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the coast-land. ⁷ Is this your fate, ye of the joyous city? she whose antiquity is of ancient days—her own feet shall carry her, afar off to sojourn. ⁸ Who hath resolved this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth? ⁹ The Lord hath resolved it, to dishonor the pride of all ornament, to make of light esteem all the honorable of the earth. ¹⁰ Pass through thy land as a stream, O daughter of Tharshish: there is no more strength. ¹¹ He hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken kingdoms; the Lord hath given a command against Canaan, to subvert its strongholds. ¹² And he said, Thou shalt no longer rejoice any more, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to the Kittim; also there shalt thou have no rest. ¹³ Behold the land of the Chaldeans—this people which was not, Asshur founded it for the dwellers in the wilderness—they have set up their watchtowers, have overthrown its palaces, have rendered it a heap of ruins. ¹⁴ Wail, ye ships of Tharshish; your stronghold is laid waste. ¹⁵ And it shall come to pass on that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, like the days of one king: at the end of seventy years shall it happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot. ¹⁶ “Take the harp, go round about the city, thou forgotten harlot; make sweet music, sing many songs, in order that thou mayest be remembered.” ¹⁷ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall have commerce with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. ¹⁸ And her gain and her hire shall be holy to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; but for those that dwell before the Lord shall her gain be, to eat to fulness, and for magnificent clothing.

¹ Behold, the Lord maketh empty the land, and layeth it waste, marreth its surface, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants. ² And it shall be with the people as with the priest; with the servant as with his master; with the bondwoman as with her mistress; with the buyer as with the seller; with the lender as with the borrower; with the debtor as with his creditor. ³ Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word. ⁴ The land mourneth, withereth away, the world languishes, withereth away, the high ones of the people of the land do languish. ⁵ For the land was defiled under its inhabitants; because they had transgressed the laws, neglected the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant. ⁶ Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left. ⁷ The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted sigh. ⁸ At rest is the mirth of the tambourines; ceased hath the tumult of the joyful; at rest is the mirth of the harp. ⁹ Amidst singing shall they no more drink wine; bitter shall be the strong drink to those that drink it. ¹⁰ Broken down is the city of desolation; shut up is every house that none can enter. ¹¹ A painful cry for wine is in the streets; darkened is all joy; banished is the mirth of the land. ¹² Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.

² O Lord, be gracious; we have waited for thee: be thou their support every morning, also our salvation in the time of trouble.

⁷ To open blind eyes, to bring out from the dungeon the prisoner, and out of the prison-house those that dwell in darkness.

²⁵ Therefore hath he poured out over him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it blazed all round about him, yet he regarded it not; and it burnt on him, yet he laid it not to heart.

²¹ This people which I have formed for myself; my praise shall they relate.

²⁵ I, it is I that blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, and thy sins I will not remember.

⁴ For the sake of my servant Jacob, and Israel my elect; and I have called thee by thy name: I have designated thee, though thou hast not known me. ⁵ I am the Lord, and there is none else, beside me there is no god; I assisted thee, though thou hast not known me.

⁶ I was wroth over my people, I defiled my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: yet thou didst grant them no mercy; upon the aged hast thou laid very heavily thy yoke.

⁹ For the sake of my name will I defer my anger, and because of my praise will I restrain it toward thee, so that I may not cut thee off.

^{9 (64:8)} Be not wroth, O Lord, so very greatly, and do not for ever remember our iniquity: behold, look, we beseech thee, thy people are we all. ^{10 (64:9)} Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem, a desolate place. ^{11 (64:10)} Our holy and beautiful house where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire; and all our costly things are become ruins.

⁵ That say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the time. ⁶ Behold, it is written before me; I will not keep silence, till I have recompensed, yea, recompensed into their bosom.— ⁷ Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, who have burnt incense upon the mountains, and upon the hills have blasphemed me: and I will measure out their work at first into their bosom.

³³ And the carcasses of this people shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, with none to chase them away.

¹ At that time, saith the Lord, shall they bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. ² And they shall spread them out before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have prostrated themselves: they shall not be gathered up, and they shall not be buried; dung upon the face of the ground shall they become.

²⁵ Pour out thy fury over the nations that know thee not, and over the families that have not called on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his dwelling desolate.

⁷ If our iniquities testify against us, O Lord, do thou act for the sake of thy name; for our backslidings are many; against thee have we sinned.

¹⁶ And the people to whom they prophesy shall lie cast down in the streets of Jerusalem by means of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; for I will pour out their wickedness over them.

²¹ Do not cast us off, for the sake of thy name, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

³ And I will appoint over them four species, saith the Lord: The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag away, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.

⁴ A death through diseases of famine shall they die; they shall not be lamented for; nor shall they be buried; for dung upon the face of the earth shall they be: and by the sword and by famine shall they come to their end; and their carcasses shall be for food unto the fowls of heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.

⁷ And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those that seek their life: and I will give their carcasses as food unto the fowls of the heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.

⁹ And I will make them a horror because of their mishaps unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and a proverb, a byword and a curse, in all the places whither I will drive them.

¹⁸ Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its princes, to make them a ruin, an astonishment, a derision, and a curse; as it is this day;

²⁹ For lo, on the city which is called by my name, I begin to inflict evil, and ye will remain utterly unpunished? Ye shall not remain unpunished; for a sword am I calling up over all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.

³³ And the slain of the Lord shall be on that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, nor gathered up, nor buried; they shall be as dung upon the surface of the ground.

¹⁸ Michah the Morashthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah the king of Judah, and said to all the people of Judah, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Zion shall be ploughed up like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house, woody high-places.

¹⁸ Thou exercisest kindness unto the thousandth generation, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers unto the bosom of their children after them; thou art the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts is his name;

²⁰ Yea I will give them up into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and to the beasts of the earth.

⁸ And the house of the king, and the houses of the people did the Chaldeans burn with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem did they pull down.

¹⁸ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.

¹ The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the nations: ² Concerning Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho the king of Egypt, which was posted by the river Euphrates in Karkemish, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah. ³ Make ye ready shield and buckler, and draw near to the battle. ⁴ Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets: sharpen the spears, and put on the coats of mail. ⁵ Wherefore have I seen them dismayed, moving backward? while their mighty ones are beaten down, and seek safety in flight, and look not back? There is terror round about, saith the Lord. ⁶ The swift cannot flee away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall. ⁷ Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers? ⁸ Egypt cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein. ⁹ Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend the bow. ¹⁰ And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country by the river Euphrates. ¹¹ Go up into Gil’ad, and fetch balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt: in vain usest thou many remedies; there is no recovery for thee. ¹² Nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry of anguish hath filled the earth; for the mighty man over the mighty have they stumbled, together are both of them fallen. ¹³ The word which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ Announce ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Thachpanches: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thyself; for the sword devoureth round about thee. ¹⁵ Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off. ¹⁶ He caused many to stumble; yea, one also fell over the other; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from before the wasting sword. ¹⁷ They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass by. ¹⁸ As I live, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name, Surely as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel is by the sea, so shall he come. ¹⁹ Appurtenances of exile make for thyself, O thou inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; for Noph shall be made a waste and be left desolate without an inhabitant. ²⁰ O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh. ²¹ Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves; for they also are turned round, are fled away together, they do not stand; because the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their punishment. ²² Her cry shall come like the hissing of a serpent; for with an army shall they march, and with axes do they come against her, like hewers of wood. ²³ They cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched out; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and there is no number to them. ²⁴ Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand of the people of the north. ²⁵ The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hath said, Behold, I will send visitation on Ahmon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, and on her gods, and on her kings; even on Pharaoh, and on those that trust on him; ²⁶ And I will give them up into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward shall she be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord. ²⁷ But thou,—fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and he shall be at rest and at ease, with none to make him afraid. ²⁸ Thou,—fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: and although I make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; and I will correct thee in measure; yet wholly will I not leave thee unpunished.

⁷ All that found them devoured them; and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of righteousness, and the hope of their fathers, the Lord.

³⁴ “Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon devoured me, he crushed me, he set me down as an empty vessel, he swallowed me up like a huge serpent, he filled his belly with my delicacies: he drove me out. ³⁵ the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem say.

³⁵ the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem say.

¹³ And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house: and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, did he burn with fire:

¹⁰ His hand hath the adversary spread out over all her magnificent things; for she hath seen nations entering into her sanctuary, of whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.

¹⁵ All that pass by this way clap their hands on account of thee; they hiss and shake their head over the daughter of Jerusalem: saying, Is this the city that men called The perfection of beauty. The joy for all the earth? ¹⁶ All thy enemies open wide their mouth against thee; they hiss and gnash their teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up: ah, truly this is the day that we hoped for; we have found, we have seen it.

¹ Remember, O Lord, what hath occurred to us, look down, and behold our disgrace.

³ And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to rebellious tribes that have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even until this very day.

²⁰ And as for the beauty of his ornament, which he had instituted for their pride: even therein did they make the images of their abominations, their detestable things; therefore have I rendered it unclean for them. ²¹ And I will give it up into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil: and they shall pollute it.

⁷ And he said unto them, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote in the city.

⁹ But I acted for the sake of my name, so as not to profane it before the eyes of the nations, in the midst of whom they were; because I had made myself known unto them before their eyes, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁴ But I acted for the sake of my name, so as not to profane it before the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had brought them forth.

¹² And thou shalt know that I am the Lord: I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given unto us to consume them.

³ Therefore prophesy and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report of the people:

⁵ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.

¹⁵ And I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.

²³ And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your eyes.

²¹ And I will display my glory among the nations: and all the nations shall see my punishment that I execute, and my hand that I lay on them. ²² And the house of Israel shall acknowledge that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.

⁹ To the Lord our God belong mercies and pardonings; for we have rebelled against him;

¹⁶ O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thy anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain; because through our sins, and through the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all who are round about us.

¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do it; delay it not; for thy own sake, O my God; for thy name is called upon thy city and upon thy people.

¹³ My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed return to Egypt.

⁹ They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gib’ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

¹⁷ Between the porch and the altar let the priests weep, the ministers of the Lord, and let them say, Spare, O Lord, thy people, and give not up thy heritage to reproach, for nations to make a by-word of them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

¹² Therefore for your sake shall Zion be ploughed up as a field, and Jerusalem shall become ruinous heaps, and the mount of the house, forest-covered high-places.

¹⁰ Then she that is my enemy will see it, and shame shall cover her, who said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall complacently see her suffer: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

¹⁸ Who is a god like unto thee, pardoning iniquity, and forgiving transgression to the residue of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in kindness.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.

⁸ Therefore wait but for me, saith the Lord, for the day that I rise up to the prey; for my judgment cometh to gather the nations, for me to assemble the kingdoms, to pour over them my indignation, all the fierceness of my anger; for through the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be devoured.

¹⁵ And with a great anger will I be angry with the nations that are at ease; for I was but a little angry with Zion, and they helped forward the mischief.

² If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will even send out against you a curse, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I will curse the same, because ye do not lay it to heart.
