The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.
Lift ye upH5375 a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192 mountainH2022, exaltH7311 the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130 the handH3027, that they may goH935 into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081.
I have commandedH6680 my sanctified onesH6942, I have also calledH7121 my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346.
The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485 the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. {like…: Heb. the likeness of}
They comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254 the whole landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984 their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821 in his going forthH3318, and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.
And I will punishH6485 the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673, and will lay lowH8213 the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184.
I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365 than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211.
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
Every one that is foundH4672 shall be thrust throughH1856; and every one that is joinedH5595 unto them shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719.
Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376 before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155, and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901+H7693.
Behold, I will stir upH5782 the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803 silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in it.
Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376; and they shall have no pityH7355 on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 childrenH1121.
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257 there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390 of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH7931 there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 there. {wild…: Heb. Ziim} {doleful…: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030 in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900. {the wild…: Heb. Iim} {desolate…: or, palaces}

Thou that art fullH4392 of stirsH8663, a tumultuousH1993 cityH5892, a joyousH5947 cityH7151: thy slainH2491 men are not slainH2491 with the swordH2719, nor deadH4191 in battleH4421.
All thy rulersH7101 are fledH5074 togetherH3162, they are boundH631 by the archersH7198: all that are foundH4672 in thee are boundH631 togetherH3162, which have fledH1272 from farH7350. {by…: Heb. of the bow}
Therefore saidH559 I, Look awayH8159 from me; I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843, labourH213 not to comfortH5162 me, because of the spoilingH7701 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. {weep…: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
For it is a dayH3117 of troubleH4103, and of treading downH4001, and of perplexityH3998 by the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the valleyH1516 of visionH2384, breakingH6979 down the wallsH7023, and of cryingH7771 to the mountainsH2022.
And ElamH5867 bareH5375 the quiverH827 with chariotsH7393 of menH120 and horsemenH6571, and KirH7024 uncoveredH6168 the shieldH4043. {uncovered: Heb. made naked}

Ye have seenH7200 also the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they are manyH7231: and ye gathered togetherH6908 the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.

Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?

AndG2532 the shapesG3667 of the locustsG200 were likeG3664 unto horsesG2462 preparedG2090 untoG1519 battleG4171; andG2532 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776 were as it wereG5613 crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, andG2532 theirG846 facesG4383 were asG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 hairG2359 asG5613 the hairG2359 of womenG1135, andG2532 theirG846 teethG3599 wereG2258 asG5613 the teeth of lionsG3023.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 breastplatesG2382, as it wereG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; andG2532 the soundG5456 of theirG846 wingsG4420 was asG5613 the soundG5456 of chariotsG716 of manyG4183 horsesG2462 runningG5143 toG1519 battleG4171.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 tailsG3769 likeG3664 unto scorpionsG4651, andG2532 there wereG2258 stingsG2759 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3769: andG2532 theirG846 powerG1849 was to hurtG91 menG444 fiveG4002 monthsG3376.
AndG2532 they hadG2192 a kingG935 overG1909 themG848, which is the angelG32 of the bottomless pitG12, whoseG846 nameG3686 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 is AbaddonG3, butG2532 inG1722 the Greek tongueG1673 hathG2192 his nameG3686 ApollyonG623. {Apollyon: that is to say, A destroyer}
OneG3391 woeG3759 is pastG565; and, beholdG2400, there comeG2064 twoG1417 woesG3759 moreG2089 hereafterG3326+G5023.
AndG2532 the sixthG1623 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 I heardG191 aG3391 voiceG5456 fromG1537 the fourG5064 hornsG2768 of the goldenG5552 altarG2379 whichG3588 is beforeG1799 GodG2316,
SayingG3004 to the sixthG1623 angelG32 whichG3739 hadG2192 the trumpetG4536, LooseG3089 the fourG5064 angelsG32 whichG3588 are boundG1210 inG1909 the greatG3173 riverG4215 EuphratesG2166.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 angelsG32 were loosedG3089, whichG3588 were preparedG2090 forG1519 an hourG5610, andG2532 a dayG2250, andG2532 a monthG3376, andG2532 a yearG1763, for toG2443 slayG615 the third partG5154 of menG444. {for an hour: or, at an hour}
AndG2532 the numberG706 of the armyG4753 of the horsemenG2461 were two hundredG1417 thousandG3461 thousandG3461: andG2532 I heardG191 the numberG706 of themG846.
AndG2532 thusG3779 I sawG1492 the horsesG2462 inG1722 the visionG3706, andG2532 them that satG2521 onG1909 themG846, havingG2192 breastplatesG2382 of fireG4447, andG2532 of jacinthG5191, andG2532 brimstoneG2306: andG2532 the headsG2776 of the horsesG2462 were asG5613 the headsG2776 of lionsG3023; andG2532 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750 issuedG1607 fireG4442 andG2532 smokeG2586 andG2532 brimstoneG2303.
ByG5259 theseG5130 threeG5140 wasG615 the third partG5154 of menG444 killedG615, byG1537 the fireG4442, andG2532 byG1537 the smokeG2586, andG2532 byG1537 the brimstoneG2303, whichG3588 issuedG1607 out ofG1537 theirG846 mouthsG4750.
ForG1063 theirG846 powerG1849 isG1526+G2076 inG1722 theirG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3769: forG1063 theirG846 tailsG3769 were likeG3664 unto serpentsG3789, and hadG2192 headsG2776, andG2532 withG1722 themG846 they do hurtG91.
I will sendH7971 him against an hypocriticalH2611 nationH1471, and against the peopleH5971 of my wrathH5678 will I give him a chargeH6680, to takeH7997 the spoilH7998, and to takeH962 the preyH957, and to tread them downH7760+H4823 like the mireH2563 of the streetsH2351. {tread…: Heb. lay them a treading}
For out of the northH6828 there cometh upH5927 a nationH1471 against her, which shall makeH7896 her landH776 desolateH8047, and none shall dwellH3427 therein: they shall removeH5110, they shall departH1980, both manH120 and beastH929.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388, to subdueH7286 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605 the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605 beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 shall not be shutH5462; {have…: or, strengthened}
Go upH5927 against the landH776 of MerathaimH4850, even against it, and against the inhabitantsH3427 of PekodH6489: wasteH2717 and utterly destroyH2763 afterH310 them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A soundH6963 of battleH4421 is in the landH776, and of greatH1419 destructionH7667.
How is the hammerH6360 of the whole earthH776 cut asunderH1438 and brokenH7665! how is BabylonH894 become a desolationH8047 among the nationsH1471!
I have laid a snareH3369 for thee, and thou art also takenH3920, O BabylonH894, and thou wast not awareH3045: thou art foundH4672, and also caughtH8610, because thou hast strivenH1624 against the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath openedH6605 his armouryH214, and hath brought forthH3318 the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195: for this is the workH4399 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778.
ComeH935 against her from the utmost borderH7093, openH6605 her storehousesH3965: cast her upH5549 as heapsH6194, and destroy her utterlyH2763: let nothing of her be leftH7611. {from…: Heb. from the end} {cast…: or, tread her}
SlayH2717 all her bullocksH6499; let them go downH3381 to the slaughterH2874: woeH1945 unto them! for their dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.
The voiceH6963 of them that fleeH5127 and escape outH6405 of the landH776 of BabylonH894, to declareH5046 in ZionH6726 the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964.
Call togetherH8085 the archersH7228 against BabylonH894: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, campH2583 against it round aboutH5439; let none thereof escapeH6413: recompenseH7999 her according to her workH6467; according to all that she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her: for she hath been proudH2102 against the LORDH3068, against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore shall her young menH970 fallH5307 in the streetsH7339, and all her menH582 of warH4421 shall be cut offH1826 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proudH2087, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635: for thy dayH3117 is comeH935, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 thee. {most…: Heb. pride}
And the most proudH2087 shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and none shall raise him upH6965: and I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in his citiesH5892, and it shall devourH398 all round aboutH5439 him. {the…: Heb. pride}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 were oppressedH6231 togetherH3162: and all that took them captivesH7617 held them fastH2388; they refusedH3985 to let them goH7971.
Their RedeemerH1350 is strongH2389; the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: he shall throughlyH7378 pleadH7378 their causeH7379, that he may give restH7280 to the landH776, and disquietH7264 the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894.
A swordH2719 is upon the ChaldeansH3778, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894, and upon her princesH8269, and upon her wiseH2450 men.
A swordH2719 is upon the liarsH907; and they shall doteH2973: a swordH2719 is upon her mighty menH1368; and they shall be dismayedH2865. {liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A swordH2719 is upon their horsesH5483, and upon their chariotsH7393, and upon all the mingled peopleH6154 that are in the midstH8432 of her; and they shall become as womenH802: a swordH2719 is upon her treasuresH214; and they shall be robbedH962.
A droughtH2721 is upon her watersH4325; and they shall be dried upH3001: for it is the landH776 of graven imagesH6456, and they are madH1984 upon their idolsH367.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desertH6728 with the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall dwellH3427 there, and the owlsH1323+H3284 shall dwellH3427 therein: and it shall be no more inhabitedH3427 for everH5331; neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755.
As GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; so shall no manH376 abideH3427 there, neither shall any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 therein.
Behold, a peopleH5971 shall comeH935 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 nationH1471, and manyH7227 kingsH4428 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
They shall holdH2388 the bowH7198 and the lanceH3591: they are cruelH394, and will not shew mercyH7355: their voiceH6963 shall roarH1993 like the seaH3220, and they shall rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, every one put in arrayH6186, like a manH376 to the battleH4421, against thee, O daughterH1323 of BabylonH894.
The kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath heardH8085 the reportH8088 of them, and his handsH3027 waxed feebleH7503: anguishH6869 took holdH2388 of him, and pangsH2427 as of a woman in travailH3205.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 unto the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will makeH7323 them suddenlyH7280 run awayH7323+H7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against BabylonH894; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
At the noiseH6963 of the takingH8610 of BabylonH894 the earthH776 is movedH7493, and the cryH2201 is heardH8085 among the nationsH1471.
I will goH3212 beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921 straightH3474+H3474: I will break in piecesH7665 the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438 the barsH1280 of ironH1270:
Make brightH1305 the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390 the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath raised upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. {bright: Heb. pure}
Put yourselves in arrayH6186 against BabylonH894 round aboutH5439: all ye that bendH1869 the bowH7198, shootH3034 at her, spareH2550 no arrowsH2671: for she hath sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.
Set ye upH5375 a standardH5251 in the landH776, blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepareH6942 the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085 against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, MinniH4508, and AshchenazH813; appointH6485 a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927 as the roughH5569 caterpillersH3218.
ShoutH7321 against her round aboutH5439: she hath givenH5414 her handH3027: her foundationsH803 are fallenH5307, her wallsH2346 are thrown downH2040: for it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068: take vengeanceH5358 upon her; as she hath doneH6213, doH6213 unto her.
PrepareH6942 against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominionH4475.
Flee outH5127 of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422 every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826 in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999 unto her a recompenceH1576.
BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354 of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.
BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307 and destroyedH7665: howlH3213 for her; takeH3947 balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
The LORDH3068 hath brought forthH3318 our righteousnessH6666: comeH935, and let us declareH5608 in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Make brightH1305 the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390 the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath raised upH5782 the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843 it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. {bright: Heb. pure}
Set upH5375 the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, make the watchH4929 strongH2388, set upH6965 the watchmenH8104, prepareH3559 the ambushesH693: for the LORDH3068 hath both devisedH2161 and doneH6213 that which he spakeH1696 against the inhabitantsH3427 of BabylonH894. {ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellestH7931+H7931 upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935, and the measureH520 of thy covetousnessH1215.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650 by himselfH5315, saying, Surely I will fillH4390 thee with menH120, as with caterpillersH3218; and they shall lift upH6030 a shoutH1959 against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath madeH6213 the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559 the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186 the heavenH8064 by his understandingH8394.
When he utterethH5414 his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064; and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927 from the endsH7097 of the earthH776: he makethH6213 lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318 the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. {multitude: or, noise}
Every manH120 is brutishH1197 by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884 is confoundedH3001 by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breathH7307 in them. {is brutish…: or, is more brutish than to know}
They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.
The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them; for he is the formerH3335 of all things: and Israel is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034.
Thou art my battle axeH4661 and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: for with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the nationsH1471, and with thee will I destroyH7843 kingdomsH4467; {with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the horseH5483 and his riderH7392; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the chariotH7393 and his riderH7392;
With thee also will I break in piecesH5310 manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 oldH2205 and youngH5288; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the young manH970 and the maidH1330;
I will also break in piecesH5310 with thee the shepherdH7462 and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 the husbandmanH406 and his yoke of oxenH6776; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310 captainsH6346 and rulersH5461.
And I will renderH7999 unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427 of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have doneH6213 in ZionH6726 in your sightH5869, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountainH2022, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, which destroyestH7843 all the earthH776: and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556 from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414 thee a burntH8316 mountainH2022.
And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:
And I will turn thee backH7725, and putH5414 hooksH2397 into thy jawsH3895, and I will bring thee forthH3318, and all thine armyH2428, horsesH5483 and horsemenH6571, all of them clothedH3847 with all sortsH4358 of armour, even a greatH7227 companyH6951 with bucklersH6793 and shieldsH4043, all of them handlingH8610 swordsH2719:
PersiaH6539, EthiopiaH3568, and LibyaH6316 with them; all of them with shieldH4043 and helmetH3553: {Libya: or, Phut}
GomerH1586, and all his bandsH102; the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 of the northH6828 quartersH3411, and all his bandsH102: and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Be thou preparedH3559, and prepareH3559 for thyself, thou, and all thy companyH6951 that are assembledH6950 unto thee, and be thou a guardH4929 unto them.
After manyH7227 daysH3117 thou shalt be visitedH6485: in the latterH319 yearsH8141 thou shalt comeH935 into the landH776 that is brought backH7725 from the swordH2719, and is gatheredH6908 out of manyH7227 peopleH5971, against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, which have been alwaysH8548 wasteH2723: but it is brought forthH3318 out of the nationsH5971, and they shall dwellH3427 safelyH983 all of them.
Thou shalt ascendH5927 and comeH935 like a stormH7722, thou shalt be like a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; It shall also come to pass, that at the same timeH3117 shall thingsH1697 comeH5927 into thy mindH3824, and thou shalt thinkH2803 an evilH7451 thoughtH4284: {think…: or, conceive a mischievous purpose}
And thou shalt sayH559, I will go upH5927 to the landH776 of unwalled villagesH6519; I will goH935 to them that are at restH8252, that dwellH3427 safelyH983, all of them dwellingH3427 without wallsH2346, and having neither barsH1280 nor gatesH1817, {safely: or, confidently}
To takeH7997 a spoilH7998, and to takeH962 a preyH957; to turnH7725 thine handH3027 upon the desolate placesH2723 that are now inhabitedH3427, and upon the peopleH5971 that are gatheredH622 out of the nationsH1471, which have gottenH6213 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, that dwellH3427 in the midstH2872 of the landH776. {To take…: Heb. To spoil the spoil, and to prey the prey} {midst: Heb. navel}
ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719, and the merchantsH5503 of TarshishH8659, with all the young lionsH3715 thereof, shall sayH559 unto thee, Art thou comeH935 to takeH7997 a spoilH7998? hast thou gatheredH6950 thy companyH6951 to takeH962 a preyH957? to carry awayH5375 silverH3701 and goldH2091, to take awayH3947 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to takeH7997 a greatH1419 spoilH7998?
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 and sayH559 unto GogH1463, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In that dayH3117 when my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 dwellethH3427 safelyH983, shalt thou not knowH3045 it?
And thou shalt comeH935 from thy placeH4725 out of the northH6828 partsH3411, thou, and manyH7227 peopleH5971 with thee, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, a greatH1419 companyH6951, and a mightyH7227 armyH2428:
And thou shalt come upH5927 against my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, as a cloudH6051 to coverH3680 the landH776; it shall be in the latterH319 daysH3117, and I will bringH935 thee against my landH776, that the heathenH1471 may knowH3045 me, when I shall be sanctifiedH6942 in thee, O GogH1463, before their eyesH5869.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Art thou he of whom I have spokenH1696 in oldH6931 timeH3117 byH3027 my servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478, which prophesiedH5012 in those daysH3117 many yearsH8141 that I would bringH935 thee against them? {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it shall come to pass at the same timeH3117 whenH3117 GogH1463 shall comeH935 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that my furyH2534 shall come upH5927 in my faceH639.
For in my jealousyH7068 and in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678 have I spokenH1696, Surely in that dayH3117 there shall be a greatH1419 shakingH7494 in the landH127 of IsraelH3478;
So that the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, and all creeping thingsH7431 that creepH7430 upon the earthH127, and all the menH120 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127, shall shakeH7493 at my presenceH6440, and the mountainsH2022 shall be thrown downH2040, and the steep placesH4095 shall fallH5307, and every wallH2346 shall fallH5307 to the groundH776. {steep…: or, towers, or, stairs}
And I will callH7121 for a swordH2719 against him throughout all my mountainsH2022, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: every man'sH376 swordH2719 shall be against his brotherH251.
And I will pleadH8199 against him with pestilenceH1698 and with bloodH1818; and I will rainH4305 upon him, and upon his bandsH102, and upon the manyH7227 peopleH5971 that are with him, an overflowingH7857 rainH1653, and great hailstonesH417+H68, fireH784, and brimstoneH1614.
Thus will I magnifyH1431 myself, and sanctifyH6942 myself; and I will be knownH3045 in the eyesH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471, and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
A fireH784 devourethH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escapeH6413 them.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.
Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much painedH2342: all facesH6440 shall gatherH6908 blacknessH6289. {blackness: Heb. pot}
They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:
Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
MultitudesH1995, multitudesH1995 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 in the valleyH6010 of decisionH2742. {decision: or, concision, or, threshing}
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, and thy spoilH7998 shall be dividedH2505 in the midstH7130 of thee.
For I will gatherH622 all nationsH1471 against JerusalemH3389 to battleH4421; and the cityH5892 shall be takenH3920, and the housesH1004 rifledH8155, and the womenH802 ravishedH7901+H7693; and halfH2677 of the cityH5892 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, and the residueH3499 of the peopleH5971 shall not be cut offH3772 from the cityH5892.
Then shall the LORDH3068 go forthH3318, and fightH3898 against those nationsH1471, as whenH3117 he foughtH3898 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128.
ThereforeG5124+G1223 shallG2240 herG846 plaguesG4127 comeG2240 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250, deathG2288, andG2532 mourningG3997, andG2532 famineG3042; andG2532 she shall be utterly burnedG2618 withG1722 fireG4442: forG3754 strongG2478 is the LordG2962 GodG2316 whoG3588 judgethG2919 herG846.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that a greatH7227 tumultH4103 from the LORDH3068 shall be among them; and they shall lay holdH2388 every oneH376 on the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453, and his handH3027 shall rise upH5927 against the handH3027 of his neighbourH7453.
And JudahH3063 also shall fightH3898 at JerusalemH3389; and the wealthH2428 of all the heathenH1471 round aboutH5439 shall be gathered togetherH622, goldH2091, and silverH3701, and apparelH899, in greatH3966 abundanceH7230. {Judah…: or, thou also, O Judah shalt} {at: or, against}
AndG2532 I sawG1492 heavenG3772 openedG455, andG2532 beholdG2400 a whiteG3022 horseG2462; andG2532 he that satG2521 uponG1909 himG846 was calledG2564 FaithfulG4103 andG2532 TrueG228, andG2532 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 he doth judgeG2919 andG2532 make warG4170.
HisG846 eyesG3788 were asG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442, andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 headG2776 were manyG4183 crownsG1238; and he hadG2192 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, thatG3739 no manG3762 knewG1492, butG1508 he himselfG846.
AndG2532 he was clothedG4016 with a vestureG2440 dippedG911 in bloodG129: andG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 is calledG2564 The WordG3056 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 the armiesG4753 which wereG3588 inG1722 heavenG3772 followedG190 himG846 uponG1909 whiteG3022 horsesG2462, clothedG1746 in fine linenG1039, whiteG3022 andG2532 cleanG2513.
AndG2532 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 goethG1607 a sharpG3691 swordG4501, thatG2443 withG1722 itG846 he should smiteG3960 the nationsG1484: andG2532 heG846 shall ruleG4165 themG846 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603: andG2532 heG846 treadethG3961 the winepressG3025+G3631 of the fiercenessG2372 andG2532 wrathG3709 of AlmightyG3841 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he hathG2192 onG1909 his vestureG2440 andG2532 onG1909 hisG846 thighG3382 a nameG3686 writtenG1125, KINGG935 OF KINGSG935, ANDG2532 LORDG2962 OF LORDSG2962.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 anG1520 angelG32 standingG2476 inG1722 the sunG2246; andG2532 he criedG2896 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004 to allG3956 the fowlsG3732 that flyG4072 inG1722 the midst of heavenG3321, ComeG1205 andG2532 gather yourselves togetherG4863 untoG1519 the supperG1173 of the greatG3173 GodG2316;
ThatG2443 ye may eatG5315 the fleshG4561 of kingsG935, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of captainsG5506, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of mighty menG2478, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of horsesG2462, andG2532 of them that sitG2521 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 the fleshG4561 of allG3956 men, both freeG1658 andG2532 bondG1401, bothG2532 smallG3398 andG2532 greatG3173.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the beastG2342, andG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 armiesG4753, gathered togetherG4863 to makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 him that satG2521 onG1909 the horseG2462, andG2532 againstG3326 hisG846 armyG4753.
AndG2532 the beastG2342 was takenG4084, andG2532 withG3326 himG5127 the false prophetG5578 that wroughtG4160 miraclesG4592 beforeG1799 himG846, withG1722 whichG3739 he deceivedG4105 them that had receivedG2983 the markG5480 of the beastG2342, andG2532 them that worshippedG4352 hisG846 imageG1504. These bothG1417 were castG906 aliveG2198 intoG1519 a lakeG3041 of fireG4442 burningG2545 withG1722 brimstoneG2303.
AndG2532 the remnantG3062 were slainG615 withG1722 the swordG4501 of him that satG2521 uponG1909 the horseG2462, whichG3588 sword proceededG1607 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750: andG2532 allG3956 the fowlsG3732 were filledG5526 withG1537 theirG846 fleshG4561.
