Isaiah 13:11-17

English Standard Version

¹¹ I will punish ^(A)the world for its evil,
    and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will ^(B)put an end to the pomp of the arrogant,
    ^(C)and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless.
¹² I will make ^(D)people more rare than fine gold,
    and mankind than the ^(E)gold of Ophir.
¹³ Therefore ^(F)I will make the heavens tremble,
    and the earth will be shaken out of its place,
at the wrath of the Lord of hosts
    in the day of his fierce anger.
¹⁴ And like a hunted gazelle,
    or like sheep with none to gather them,
^(G)each will turn to his own people,
    and each will flee to his own land.
¹⁵ Whoever is found will be thrust through,
    and whoever is caught will fall by the sword.
^16 (H)Their infants will be dashed in pieces
    before their eyes;
their houses will be plundered
    and their wives ravished.
