Isaiah 13:4-17
New Living Translation
Isaiah 13:4-17
New Living Translation
4 Hear the noise on the mountains!
Listen, as the vast armies march!
It is the noise and shouting of many nations.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has called this army together.
5 They come from distant countries,
from beyond the farthest horizons.
They are the Lord’s weapons to carry out his anger.
With them he will destroy the whole land.
6 Scream in terror, for the day of the Lord has arrived—
the time for the Almighty to destroy.
7 Every arm is paralyzed with fear.
Every heart melts,
8 and people are terrified.
Pangs of anguish grip them,
like those of a woman in labor.
They look helplessly at one another,
their faces aflame with fear.
9 For see, the day of the Lord is coming—
the terrible day of his fury and fierce anger.
The land will be made desolate,
and all the sinners destroyed with it.
10 The heavens will be black above them;
the stars will give no light.
The sun will be dark when it rises,
and the moon will provide no light.
11 “I, the Lord, will punish the world for its evil
and the wicked for their sin.
I will crush the arrogance of the proud
and humble the pride of the mighty.
12 I will make people scarcer than gold—
more rare than the fine gold of Ophir.
13 For I will shake the heavens.
The earth will move from its place
when the Lord of Heaven’s Armies displays his wrath
in the day of his fierce anger.”
14 Everyone in Babylon will run about like a hunted gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd.
They will try to find their own people
and flee to their own land.
15 Anyone who is captured will be cut down—
run through with a sword.
16 Their little children will be dashed to death before their eyes.
Their homes will be sacked, and their wives will be raped.
17 “Look, I will stir up the Medes against Babylon.
They cannot be tempted by silver
or bribed with gold.
Isaiah 13:4-17

Isaiah 13:4-17
New International Version
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!(A)
Listen, an uproar(B) among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(C) is mustering(D)
an army for war.
5 They come from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens(E)—
the Lord and the weapons(F) of his wrath(G)—
to destroy(H) the whole country.
6 Wail,(I) for the day(J) of the Lord is near;
it will come like destruction(K) from the Almighty.[a](L)
7 Because of this, all hands will go limp,(M)
every heart will melt with fear.(N)
8 Terror(O) will seize them,
pain and anguish will grip(P) them;
they will writhe like a woman in labor.(Q)
They will look aghast at each other,
their faces aflame.(R)
9 See, the day(S) of the Lord is coming
—a cruel(T) day, with wrath(U) and fierce anger(V)—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.
10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.(W)
The rising sun(X) will be darkened(Y)
and the moon will not give its light.(Z)
11 I will punish(AA) the world for its evil,
the wicked(AB) for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty(AC)
and will humble(AD) the pride of the ruthless.(AE)
12 I will make people(AF) scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir.(AG)
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;(AH)
and the earth will shake(AI) from its place
at the wrath(AJ) of the Lord Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger.(AK)
14 Like a hunted(AL) gazelle,
like sheep without a shepherd,(AM)
they will all return to their own people,
they will flee(AN) to their native land.(AO)
15 Whoever is captured will be thrust through;
all who are caught will fall(AP) by the sword.(AQ)
16 Their infants(AR) will be dashed to pieces before their eyes;
their houses will be looted and their wives violated.(AS)
