At that timeH6256 MerodachbaladanH4757, the sonH1121 of BaladanH1081, kingH4428 of BabylonH894, sentH7971 lettersH5612 and a presentH4503 to HezekiahH2396: for he had heardH8085 that he had been sickH2470, and was recoveredH2388.
And HezekiahH2396 was gladH8055 of them, and shewedH7200 them the houseH1004 of his precious thingsH5238, the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the spicesH1314, and the preciousH2896 ointmentH8081, and all the houseH1004 of his armourH3627, and all that was foundH4672 in his treasuresH214: there was nothingH1697 in his houseH1004, nor in all his dominionH4475, that HezekiahH2396 shewedH7200 them not. {precious things: or, spicery} {armour: or, jewels: Heb. vessels, or, instruments}
Then cameH935 IsaiahH3470 the prophetH5030 unto kingH4428 HezekiahH2396, and saidH559 unto him, What saidH559 these menH582? and from whenceH370 cameH935 they unto thee? And HezekiahH2396 saidH559, They are comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776 unto me, even from BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 he, What have they seenH7200 in thine houseH1004? And HezekiahH2396 answeredH559, All that is in mine houseH1004 have they seenH7200: there is nothingH1697 among my treasuresH214 that I have not shewedH7200 them.
Then saidH559 IsaiahH3470 to HezekiahH2396, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that all that is in thine houseH1004, and that which thy fathersH1 have laid up in storeH686 until this dayH3117, shall be carriedH5375 to BabylonH894: nothingH1697 shall be leftH3498, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And of thy sonsH1121 that shall issueH3318 from thee, which thou shalt begetH3205, shall they take awayH3947; and they shall be eunuchsH5631 in the palaceH1964 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.
Then saidH559 HezekiahH2396 to IsaiahH3470, GoodH2896 is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which thou hast spokenH1696. He saidH559 moreover, For there shall be peaceH7965 and truthH571 in my daysH3117.
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}
For the LORDH3068 will have mercyH7355 on JacobH3290, and will yet chooseH977 IsraelH3478, and setH3240 them in their own landH127: and the strangersH1616 shall be joinedH3867 with them, and they shall cleaveH5596 to the houseH1004 of JacobH3290.
And the peopleH5971 shall takeH3947 them, and bringH935 them to their placeH4725: and the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 shall possessH5157 them in the landH127 of the LORDH3068 for servantsH5650 and handmaidsH8198: and they shall take them captivesH7617, whose captivesH7617 they were; and they shall ruleH7287 over their oppressorsH5065. {whose…: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 shall give thee restH5117 from thy sorrowH6090, and from thy fearH7267, and from the hardH7186 bondageH5656 wherein thou wast made to serveH5647,
That thou shalt take upH5375 this proverbH4912 against the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and sayH559, How hath the oppressorH5065 ceasedH7673! the golden cityH4062 ceasedH7673! {proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden…: or, exactress of gold}
The LORDH3068 hath brokenH7665 the staffH4294 of the wickedH7563, and the sceptreH7626 of the rulersH4910.
He who smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 in wrathH5678 with a continualH1115+H5627 strokeH4347, he that ruledH7287 the nationsH1471 in angerH639, is persecutedH4783, and noneH1097 hinderethH2820. {a continual…: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earthH776 is at restH5117, and is quietH8252: they break forthH6476 into singingH7440.
Yea, the fir treesH1265 rejoiceH8055 at thee, and the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, saying, Since thou art laid downH7901, no fellerH3772 is come upH5927 against us.
HellH7585 from beneath is movedH7264 for thee to meetH7125 thee at thy comingH935: it stirreth upH5782 the deadH7496 for thee, even all the chief onesH6260 of the earthH776; it hath raised upH6965 from their thronesH3678 all the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471. {Hell: or, The grave} {chief…: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speakH6030 and sayH559 unto thee, Art thou also become weakH2470 as we? art thou become likeH4911 unto us?
Thy pompH1347 is brought downH3381 to the graveH7585, and the noiseH1998 of thy violsH5035: the wormH7415 is spreadH3331 under thee, and the wormsH8438 coverH4374 thee.
How art thou fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, O LuciferH1966, sonH1121 of the morningH7837+H3213! how art thou cut downH1438 to the groundH776, which didst weakenH2522 the nationsH1471! {O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast saidH559 in thine heartH3824, I will ascendH5927 into heavenH8064, I will exaltH7311 my throneH3678 aboveH4605 the starsH3556 of GodH410: I will sitH3427 also upon the mountH2022 of the congregationH4150, in the sidesH3411 of the northH6828:
I will ascendH5927 above the heightsH1116 of the cloudsH5645; I will be likeH1819 the most HighH5945.
Yet thou shalt be brought downH3381 to hellH7585, to the sidesH3411 of the pitH953.
They that seeH7200 thee shall narrowly lookH7688 upon thee, and considerH995 thee, saying, Is this the manH376 that made the earthH776 to trembleH7264, that did shakeH7493 kingdomsH4467;
That madeH7760 the worldH8398 as a wildernessH4057, and destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892 thereof; that openedH6605 not the houseH1004 of his prisonersH615? {opened…: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kingsH4428 of the nationsH1471, even all of them, lieH7901 in gloryH3519, every oneH376 in his own houseH1004.
But thou art cast outH7993 of thy graveH6913 like an abominableH8581 branchH5342, and as the raimentH3830 of those that are slainH2026, thrust throughH2944 with a swordH2719, that go downH3381 to the stonesH68 of the pitH953; as a carcaseH6297 trodden under feetH947.
Thou shalt not be joinedH3161 with them in burialH6900, because thou hast destroyedH7843 thy landH776, and slainH2026 thy peopleH5971: the seedH2233 of evildoersH7489 shall neverH5769 be renownedH7121.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
For I will rise upH6965 against them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and cut offH3772 from BabylonH894 the nameH8034, and remnantH7605, and sonH5209, and nephewH5220, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I will also makeH7760 it a possessionH4180 for the bitternH7090, and poolsH98 of waterH4325: and I will sweepH2894 it with the besomH4292 of destructionH8045, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650, sayingH559, Surely as I have thoughtH1819, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposedH3289, so shall it standH6965:
That I will breakH7665 the AssyrianH804 in my landH776, and upon my mountainsH2022 tread him under footH947: then shall his yokeH5923 departH5493 from off them, and his burdenH5448 departH5493 from off their shouldersH7926.
This is the purposeH6098 that is purposedH3289 upon the whole earthH776: and this is the handH3027 that is stretched outH5186 upon all the nationsH1471.
For the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289, and who shall disannulH6565 it? and his handH3027 is stretched outH5186, and who shall turn it backH7725?
In the yearH8141 that kingH4428 AhazH271 diedH4194 was this burdenH4853.
RejoiceH8055 not thou, whole PalestinaH6429, because the rodH7626 of him that smoteH5221 thee is brokenH7665: for out of the serpent'sH5175 rootH8328 shall come forthH3318 a cockatriceH6848, and his fruitH6529 shall be a fieryH8314 flyingH5774 serpentH8314. {cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstbornH1060 of the poorH1800 shall feedH7462, and the needyH34 shall lie downH7257 in safetyH983: and I will killH4191 thy rootH8328 with famineH7458, and he shall slayH2026 thy remnantH7611.
HowlH3213, O gateH8179; cryH2199, O cityH5892; thou, whole PalestinaH6429, art dissolvedH4127: for there shall comeH935 from the northH6828 a smokeH6227, and none shall be aloneH909 in his appointed timesH4151. {none…: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed…: or, assemblies}
What shall one then answerH6030 the messengersH4397 of the nationH1471? That the LORDH3068 hath foundedH3245 ZionH6726, and the poorH6041 of his peopleH5971 shall trustH2620 in it. {trust…: or, betake themselves unto it}
The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498 through; so it comethH935 from the desertH4057, from a terribleH3372 landH776.
A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me; the treacherous dealerH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoilerH7703 spoilethH7703. Go upH5927, O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696, O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673. {grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with painH2479: pangsH6735 have taken holdH270 upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travailethH3205: I was bowed downH5753 at the hearingH8085 of it; I was dismayedH926 at the seeingH7200 of it.
My heartH3824 pantedH8582, fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 unto me. {heart…: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, watchH6822 in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, and anointH4886 the shieldH4043.
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of assesH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915: {he…: or, cried as a lion} {whole…: or, every night}
And, behold, here comethH935 a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
O my threshingH4098, and the cornH1121 of my floorH1637: that which I have heardH8085 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121 to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915?
The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 comethH857, and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158, enquireH1158 ye: returnH7725, comeH857.
The burdenH4853 upon ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodgeH3885, O ye travelling companiesH736 of DedanimH1720.
The inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857 waterH4325 to himH7125 that was thirstyH6771, they preventedH6923 with their breadH3899 him that fledH5074. {brought: or, bring ye}
For they fledH5074 fromH6440 the swordsH2719, fromH6440 the drawnH5203 swordH2719, and fromH6440 the bentH1869 bowH7198, and fromH6440 the grievousnessH3514 of warH4421. {from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, Within a yearH8141, according to the yearsH8141 of an hirelingH7916, and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615:
And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archersH7198, the mighty menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be diminishedH4591: for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath spokenH1696 it. {archers: Heb. bows}
