Isaiah 13:1-13 :: Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Isaiah 13

Babylon Will Be Punished
 1This is the message [a] that I was given about Babylon: 2From high on a barren hill

   give a signal, shout the orders,

   and point the way

   to enter the gates

   of Babylon's proud rulers.

    3The LORD has commanded

   his very best warriors

   and his proud heroes

   to show how angry he is.

    4Listen to the noisy crowds

   on the mountains!

   Kingdoms and nations

   are joining forces.

   The LORD All-Powerful

   is bringing together

   an army for battle.

    5From a distant land

   the LORD is coming

   fierce and furious--

   he brings his weapons

   to destroy the earth.

    6Cry and weep!

   The day is coming

   when the mighty LORD

   will bring destruction.

    7All people will be terrified.

   Hands will grow limp;

   courage will melt away.

    8Everyone will tremble with pain

   like a woman giving birth;

   they will stare at each other

   with horror on their faces.

   

There Will Be No Mercy
 9I, the LORD,

   will show no mercy or pity

   when that time comes.

   In my anger I will destroy

   the earth

   and every sinner

   who lives on it.

    10Light will disappear

   from the stars in the sky;

   the dawning sun will turn dark,

   and the moon

   will lose its glow.

    11I will punish this evil world

   and its people

   because of their sins.

   I will crush the horrible pride

   of those who are cruel.

    12Survivors will be harder to find

   than the purest gold.

    13I, the LORD All-Powerful,

   am terribly angry--

   I will make the sky tremble

   and the earth shake loose.

   

  1. Isaiah 13:1 message: See the note at 1.1.
