ISAIAH
14.11
- That shall remain from Assyria,
- Like as there was for Israel
- In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
- 12And in that day thou shalt say:
- 'I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord;
- For though Thou was angry with me,
- Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortest me.
- 2Behold, God is my salvation;
- I will trust, and will not be afraid;
- For God the Lord is my strength and song;
- And He is become my salvation.'
- 3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
- Out of the wells of salvation.
- 4And in that day shall ye say:
- 'Give thanks unto the Lord, proclaim His name,
- Declare His doings among the peoples,
- Make mention that His name is exalted.
- 5Sing unto the Lord; for He hath done gloriously;
- This is made known in all the earth.
- 6Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion,
- For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.'
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 go
- Into 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 kingdoms
- Of the nations gathered together!
- The Lord of hosts mustereth
- The 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; 12
- Pangs 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 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.
- 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,
