Isaiah 13:12-20
-
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
-
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.
-
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.
-
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
-
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
-
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.
-
18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
-
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
-
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.
