Prophecies about Babylon | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. | 1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. | 1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. | 1 THE burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw. | 1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen: | 2 Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles. | 2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. | 2 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles. | 2 Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates. | 2 'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles. | 3 I have commanded My consecrated ones, I have even called My mighty warriors, My proudly exulting ones, To execute My anger. | 3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. | 3 I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones. | 3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory. | 3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.' | 4 A sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle. | 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle. | 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the host for the battle. | 4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war. | 4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle! | 5 They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land. | 5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. | 5 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land. | 5 To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land. | 5 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land. | Judgment on the Day of the LORD |
| NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. | 6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. | 6 Wail ye; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come. | 6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord. | 6 Howl ye, for near is the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh. | 7 Therefore all hands will fall limp, And every man's heart will melt. | 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: | 7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt: | 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt, | 7 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt. | 8 They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame. | 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. | 8 and they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them ; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall look in amazement one at another; their faces'shall be faces of flame. | 8 And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt. | 8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames -- their faces! | 9 Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it. | 9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. | 9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. | 9 Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it. | 9 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it. | 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light. | 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. | 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine. | 10 For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light. | 10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity; I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proud And abase the haughtiness of the ruthless. | 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. | 11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. | 11 And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty. | 11 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low. | 12 I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold And mankind than the gold of Ophir. | 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. | 12 I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir. | 12 A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold. | 12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir. | 13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of hosts In the day of His burning anger. | 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. | 13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. | 13 For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath. | 13 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger. | 14 And it will be that like a hunted gazelle, Or like sheep with none to gather them, They will each turn to his own people, And each one flee to his own land. | 14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. | 14 And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land. | 14 And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land. | 14 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people -- they turn, And each unto his land -- they flee. | 15 Anyone who is found will be thrust through, And anyone who is captured will fall by the sword. | 15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. | 15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword. | 15 Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword. | 15 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Their little ones also will be dashed to pieces Before their eyes; Their houses will be plundered And their wives ravished. | 16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. | 16 Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished. | 16 Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished. | 16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with. | Babylon Will Fall to the Medes |
| 17 Behold, I am going to stir up the Medes against them, Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold. | 17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. | 17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. | 17 Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold: | 17 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold -- they delight not in it. | 18 And their bows will mow down the young men, They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb, Nor will their eye pity children. | 18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children. | 18 And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. | 18 But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons. | 18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity. | 19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans' pride, Will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. | 19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. | 19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. | 19 And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha. | 19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah. | 20 It will never be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation; Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there, Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there. | 20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. | 20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there. | 20 It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there. | 20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 But desert creatures will lie down there, And their houses will be full of owls; Ostriches also will live there, and shaggy goats will frolic there. | 21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. | 21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there. | 21 But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there: | 21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there. | 22 Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged. | 22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. | 22 And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged. | 22 And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure. | 22 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come is her time, And her days are not drawn out! |
