Chap. XIII.
note
The Prophet fortelleth the calamitie, and ruine of Babylon. note
1 The note burden of Babylon, which Isaie the sonne of
Amos saw.
2 Vpon the darke mountaine lift vp a signe,
exalt the voice, lift vp the hand, and let the dukes enter the
gates.
3 I haue commanded my note sanctified, and haue called
my strong ones in my wrath, them that reioce in my glorie.
4 The voice of a multitude in the mountaines, as it were of
manie peoples, a voice of the sound of kinges, nations
gathered together: The Lord of hostes hath commanded the
host of battel.
5 Coming from a countrie far of, from the
end of heauen: our Lord, and the instruments of his furie, to
destroy the whole land.
6 Howleye, because the day or our
Lord is nere: it shal come as destruction from our Lord.
7 For
this cause shal al handes be dissolued, and euerie hart of man
shal melt,
8 And be broken. Gripings and paines shal hold
them, they shal be in paine as she that trauaileth. Euerie one
shal be astonied at his neighbour, their countenances as faces
burnt.
9 Behold the day of our Lord shal come, cruel, and ful
of indignation, and of wrath, and furie to bring the land to a
wildernes, and to destroy the sinners therof out of it.
10 Because
the starres of heauen, and their brightnes shal not display
their light: the sunne is darkened in his rysing, and the moone
shal not shine in her light.
11 And I will visite ouer the euiles
of the world, and against the impious their iniquitie, and I wil
make the pride of infidels to cease, and wil humble the arrogancie
of the strong.
12 A man shal be more precious then
-- --
gold, & note man then pure fine gold.
13 For this I shal truble heauen:
& the earth shal be moued out of her place, for the indignation
of the Lord of hostes, & for the day of the wrath of his
furie.
14 And it shal be as a yong doe fleing, and as a sheepe:
and there shal be none to gather them together: euerie man
shal turne to his owne people, and euerie one shal flee to his
owne land.
15 Euerie one that shal be found, shal be slaine:
and euerie one that shal come to ayde, shal fal by the sword.
16 Their infants shal be dashed in peeces before their eies:
their houses shal be spoiled, and their wiues shal be rauished.
17 Behold I wil rayse vpon them the Medes, which shal not
seeke siluer, nor desire gold.
18 But with arrowes they shal kil
the litle ones, and shal haue no pitie vpon the sucklings of the
wombe, and vpon the children their eie shal not spare.
19 And
that Babylon glorious in kingdoms, noble in the pride of the
Chaldees, shal be euen as our Lord subuerted Sodom and Gomorrha.
20 It shal not be inhabited for euer, & it note shal not be
founded vnto generation & generation: neither shal the Arabian
pitch his tents there, nor shepeheardes rest there.
21 But
beastes shal rest there, and their houses shal be filled with dragons,
and ostreches shal dwel there, and Satyrs shal daunce
there:
22 And the Syrach owles shal answer there in the
houses therof, and mermaides in the temples of pleasure.
