Isaiah Isaiah
Isaiah 13:1-14:27 covers Isaiah's Vision in his own book
of Isaiah.
1The burden of Babel which Isaiah, son of Amos, saw:
2.1Lift up a banner on high mountains.
2.2Raise the voice to them.
2.3Wave the hand
2.4that they may enter the gates of the princes.
3.1I have commanded my holy ones.
3.2I have called the mighty ones in my anger,
3.3even those who became strong with my excellency.
Isaiah 13:1-34.1The noise of tumult on the mountains
4.2like many peoples,
4.3a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms
4.4of peoples gathered together.
4.5The Master of Hosts
4.6is performing wonders.
5.1Warriors are coming from far away
5.2and from the end of the skies,
5.3even the Master and the weapons of his indignation
5.4to destroy the whole land.
Isaiah 13:4-56.1Howl, for the day of the Master is at hand
6.2and it will come as a plunder which is made suddenly. I Joel 1:15
7.1Therefore all hands will be faint
7.2and every man's heart will melt.
8.1They will be afraid
8.2and terror and pangs will take hold of them
8.3and they will be in pain as a woman in travail I Hosea 1:3
8.4and they will be amazed at one another
8.5and their faces will be as flames.
Isaiah 13:6-89.1The day of the Master comes which has no remedy,
9.2cruel both with wrath and fierce anger,
9.3to make the land a desolation.
9.4He will destroy its sinners out of it.
10.1For the stars of the skies and their constellations
10.2will not give their light.
10.3The sun will be darkened in its rising
10.4and the moon will not cause its light to shine. Q Matthew 24:29 Q Mark 13:24-25 I Joel 2:31
11.1I will punish the world for its evil
11.2and the wicked for their iniquity
11.3and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease
11.4and will bring low the haughtiness of the mighty.
12.1I will make a man more precious than gold,
12.2even men than the gold of Ophir.
13.1Therefore I will anger the skies
13.2and quake the land out of its place, I Amos 1:1
13.3in the rebuke of the Master of Hosts
13.4in the day of his fierce anger.
Isaiah 13:9-1314.1They will be like gazelles when they flee
14.2and like sheep that have no one to gather them.
14.3Every man will turn to his own people
14.4and each flee to his own land.
15.1Everyone who is found will be thrust through
15.2and everyone who escapes will fall by the sword.
16.1Their sons will be dashed to pieces before their eyes
16.2and their houses will be spoiled and their wives ravished.
Isaiah 13:14-1617.1I will stir up the Medes against them
17.2who have no regard for silver
17.3and have no delight in gold.
18.1The bows of young men will be broken in pieces
18.2and they will not have compassion on the fruit of the womb
18.3and their eyes will not pity sons.
19.1Babel, the glory of the kingdoms,
19.2the beauty of the Chaldeans' excellency,
19.3will be as when God overthrew
19.4Sodom and Gomorrah. I Amos 4:11
20.1It will never be inhabited
20.2nor will it be lived in from generation to generation
20.3nor will the Arabs camp there
20.4nor will the shepherds make their folds there,
21.1but wild animals will lie there
21.2and their houses will be full of doleful creatures
21.3and ostriches will live there
21.4and satyrs will dance there
22.1and the screech-owls will cry in their houses
22.2and jackals in their pleasant houses.
22.3Its time is soon to come
22.4and its days will not be prolonged. Isaiah 13:17-22
1.1For the Master will have mercy on Jacob
1.2and will yet choose Israel
1.3and will set them in their own land
1.4and strangers will accompany them
1.5and they will add to the house of Jacob.
2.1The peoples will take them
2.2and bring them to their place
2.3and the house of Israel will inherit them
2.4in the land of the Master for male servants and female servants
2.5and they will take them captive whose captives they were
2.6and they will rule over their oppressors.
Isaiah 14:1-23It will come to pass in the day that the Master will give you rest from your sorrow and from your anger and from the hard servitude in which you were made to serve
4.1you will take up this proverb against the king of Babel, and say:
4.2How has the ruler ceased
4.3and the zealous ceased.
5.1The Master has broken the staff of the wicked
5.2and the scepter of the rulers
6.1who struck the peoples in wrath,
6.2striking without instruction,
6.3who chastised the peoples in anger
6.4and persecuted them without hindrance.
7.1The whole land is at rest and is quiet
7.2and they break forth into singing.
8.1Yes, the fir trees rejoice over you
8.2and the cedars of Lebanon saying,
8.3Since you are felled
8.4no hewer is come up to cut us down.
Isaiah 14:3-89.1The grave beneath
9.2is murmuring at your coming.
9.3It stirs up against you all the mighty men,
9.4even all the rulers of the land
9.5whom you overthrew from their thrones.
10.1All the kings of the peoples will answer
10.2and say to you,
10.3Have you also become weak as we?
10.4Have you become like us?
11.1Your pomp is brought down to the grave
11.2and the noise of your harps is dead.
11.3The dust is spread under you
11.4and the worms cover you.
Isaiah 14:9-1112.1How you are fallen from the skies
12.2son of the dawn,
12.3for you have fallen down to the ground
12.4reviler of the peoples. I Obadiah 1:3-4
13.1For you have said in your heart,
13.2I will ascend into the skies.
13.3I will exalt my throne
13.4above the stars of God.
13.5I will also live on the high mountains
13.6in the outer regions of the north.
14.1I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.
14.2I will be like the Most High.
15.1From now on you will be brought down to the grave
15.2and to the bottom of the pit.
Isaiah 14:12-1516.1Those who see you will stare at you
16.2and consider you saying,
16.3Is this the man who embittered the land
16.4and who quaked kingdoms
17.1and who made the world as a wilderness
17.2and destroyed its cities
17.3and who did not free his prisoners?
Isaiah 14:16-1718.1All the kings of the peoples lie in glory,
18.2each in his own house.
19.1But you are cast out of your grave
19.2like an abominable person
19.3and as the raiment of those
19.4who are killed, killed by the sword,
19.5that go down to the stones of the pit
19.6as corpses trampled under foot.
20.1You will not rejoice with them in the grave
20.2because you have destroyed your land
20.3and killed your people.
Isaiah 14:18-2020.4The seed of the evildoer
20.5will never rise again.
21.1Prepare slaughter for his sons
21.2for the iniquity of their fathers
21.3that they do not rise nor inherit the land
21.4nor fill the face of the world with war.
Isaiah 14:20.4-2122.1For I will rise up against them,
22.2says the Master of Hosts,
22.3and will cut off from Babel the name and its offspring
22.4and the family and its generation,
22.5says the Master.
23.1I will also make it an inheritance for owls
23.2and pools of water
23.3and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,
23.4says the Master of Hosts.
Isaiah 14:22-23 24.1The Master of Hosts has sworn, saying:
24.2Surely as I have thought so it will come to pass
24.3and as I have purposed so it will stand.
25.1I will break the Assyrian in my land
25.2and on my mountains tread him under foot.
25.3Then his yoke will depart from off them
25.4and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Isaiah 14:24-2526.1This is the end that is purposed against all the land
26.2and this is the hand that is stretched out against all the peoples.
27.1For the Master of Hosts has purposed and who can disannul it?
27.2His hand is stretched out and who will turn it back? Isaiah 14:26-27 (Isaiah 13:1-14:27 BRB) Isaiah says A burden concerning the fall of Babylon,
which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
This aligns with the
vision Isaiah saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem
(Isa 1:1).
The 13th passage of Isaiah is a soliloquy. Up to this
point, and in each passage following, the book of Isaiah
speaks to stories in other books of the Bible, but here,
he stops and reflects with/by/on himself.
Put another way, this passage of Isaiah is the Signature
Passage, the passage where the reader gets to learn about
the author.
