11  And it shall come to pass win that day,

That the Lord shall set his hand again the second time

To recover the remnant of his people,

aaWhich shall be left, bfrom Assyria,

And bfrom Egypt, and from cPathros,

And from dCush, and from eElam, and from fShinar,

And from gHamath, and from hthe islands of the sea.

12  And ihe shall set up jan ensign for the nations,

And shall assemble kthe outcasts of Israel,

And lgather together mthe dispersed of Judah

From the four †corners of the earth.

13  nThe envy also of Ephraim shall depart,

And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off:

Ephraim shall not envy Judah,

And Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

14  But they shall fly upon othe shoulders of pthe Philistines toward the west;

They shall spoil †them of the east together:

q†They shall lay their hand upon rEdom and sMoab;

qAnd †the children of stAmmon ushall obey them.

15  And the Lord vshall utterly destroy xthe tongue of the Egyptian sea;

And with his mighty wind shall he yshake his hand over zthe river,

And shall smite it in the seven streams,

And amake men go over †dryshod.

16  And bthere shall be can highway for the remnant of his people,

dWhich shall be left, from Assyria;

eLike as it was to Israel

In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

12 And ain that day thou shalt say,

O Lord, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me,

Thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

2  Behold, bGod is my salvation;

I will trust, and not be afraid:

For the cLord JEHOVAH is my dstrength and my song;

He also is become my salvation.

3  Therefore ewith joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4  And ain that day shall ye say,

fPraise the Lord, ||fcall upon his name,

fgDeclare his doings among the people,

Make mention that hhis name is iexalted.

5  kSing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things:

This is known in all the earth.

6  lCry out and lmshout, thou †inhabitant of Zion:

For great is nthe Holy One of Israel oin the midst of thee.

13 *The aburden of bBabylon, cwhich Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2  dLift ye up a banner eupon the fhigh mountain,

Exalt the voice unto them, gshake the hand,

That they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3  I have commanded hmy sanctified ones,

I have also called imy mighty ones for mine anger,

Even them kthat lrejoice in my highness.

4  The noise of la multitude in the mountains, †like as of a great people;

lA tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together:

The Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

5  mThey come from a far country, from the end of heaven,

Even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation,

nTo destroy the whole land.

6  oHowl ye; pqfor the day of the Lord is at hand;

qIt shall come ras a destruction from the Almighty.

7  Therefore shall all hands ||be faint,

And every man’s sheart shall melt:

8  And they shall be afraid: tpangs and usorrows shall take hold of them;

uvThey shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth:

They shall †be amazed †one at another;

Their faces shall be as †flames.

9  Behold, wthe day of the Lord cometh,

Cruel both with xwrath and fierce anger,

To lay the land desolate:

And xxhe shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10  For the stars of heaven and ythe constellations thereof shall not zgive their light:

aThe sun shall be darkened in his going forth,

And athe moon shall not cause her light to shine.

11  And I will bpunish the world for their evil,

And the wicked for their iniquity;

And I will ccause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,

And will dlay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

12  eI will make a man fmore precious than gfine gold;

Even a man than hthe golden wedge of Ophir.

13  Therefore iI will shake the heavens,

And ithe earth shall remove out of her place,

In jthe wrath of the Lord of hosts,

And kin the day of his jfierce anger.

14  And it shall be as the chased roe,

And as a sheep that no man taketh up:

lThey shall every man turn to his own people,

And flee every one into his own land.

15  Every one that is found mshall be thrust through;

And every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.

16  nTheir children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes;

oTheir houses shall be spoiled, and otheir wives ravished.

17  Behold, pI will stir up qthe Medes against them,

rWhich shall not regard silver;

And as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

18  sTheir bows also shall dash the young men to pieces;

And they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb;

tTheir eye shall not spare children.

19  And Babylon, uthe glory of kingdoms,

uThe beauty of vthe Chaldees’ uexcellency,

wShall be †as xwhen God overthrew ySodom and Gomorrah.

20  zIt shall never be inhabited,

Neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation:

Neither shall athe Arabian pitch tent there;

Neither shall the shepherds bmake their fold there.

21  cBut †dwild beasts of the desert shall lie there;

And their houses shall be full of †doleful creatures;

And ||†dowls shall dwell there,

And desatyrs shall dance there.

22  And †dthe wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their ||fdesolate houses,

And gdragons in their hpleasant ipalaces:

And kher time is near to come,

And her days shall not be prolonged.

14 For the Lord awill have mercy on Jacob,

And bwill yet choose Israel,

And cset them in their own land:

And dthe strangers shall be joined with them,

And they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2  And the people shall take them, and ebring them to their place:

And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord

fFor servants and handmaids:

And they shall take them captives, †whose captives they were;

And gthey shall rule over their oppressors.

3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 4 That thou shalt htake up this ||proverb against the king of Babylon, and say,

How hath the oppressor ceased! the ||igolden city ceased!

5  The Lord hath broken kthe staff lof the wicked, and klthe sceptre of the rulers.

6  He who smote the people in wrath with †a continual stroke,

He that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

7  The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: mthey break forth into singing.

8  nYea, othe fir trees rejoice at thee, and opthe cedars of Lebanon, saying,

Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9  q||Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming:

It stirreth up rthe dead for thee, even all the †chief ones of the earth;

It hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10  All they shall sspeak and say unto thee,

Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?

11  Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy tviols:

uThe worm vis spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

12  wHow art thou fallen from heaven, ||O Lucifer, xson of the morning!

How art thou ycut down to the ground, which didst zweaken the nations!

13  For thou hast said in thine heart, aI will ascend into heaven,

bI will exalt my throne above the stars of God:

I will sit also upon cthe mount of the congregation, in dthe sides of the north:

14  bI will ascend above the heights of the clouds; eI will be like the most High.

15  Yet fthou shalt be brought down to hell, to gthe sides of the pit.

16  They that see thee shall hnarrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying,

Is this the man that imade the earth to tremble, that idid shake kingdoms;

17  That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof;

That ||opened not the house of his prisoners?

18  All the kings of the nations, even all of them,

Lie in glory, every one kin his own house.

19  But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,

And as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword,

That go down to gthe stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

20  lThou shalt not be joined with them in burial,

Because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people:

mThe seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21  Prepare slaughter for his children nfor the iniquity of their fathers;

oThat they do not rise, nor possess the land,

Nor fill the face of the world with cities.

22  For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts,

And cut off from Babylon pthe name, and qremnant,

And rson, and rsnephew, saith the Lord.

23  I will also make it a possession for tthe bittern, and pools of water:

And I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the Lord of hosts.

24  The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass;

And as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

25  uThat I will break the Assyrian in my land,

And upon my mountains tread him under foot:

Then shall his vyoke depart from off them,

And whis vburden depart from off their shoulders.

26  This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth:

And this is xthe hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.

27  For ythe Lord of hosts hath purposed, and zwho shall disannul it?

And xhis hand is stretched out, and awho shall turn it back?

28  In the year that bking Ahaz died was this cburden.

29  Rejoice not thou, whole dPalestina,

Because ethe rod of him that smote thee is broken:

For fout of the serpent’s root shall come forth a ||gcockatrice,

And fhis fruit shall be ha fiery flying serpent.

30  And ithe firstborn of the poor shall feed,

And the needy shall lie down in safety:

And I will kill thy root with famine,

And he shall slay thy remnant.

31  jHowl, O gate; cry, O city;

Thou, whole dPalestina, art kdissolved:

For there shall come from the north a smoke,

And ||none shall be alone in his ||lappointed times.

32  What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation?

That mthe Lord hath founded Zion,

And nothe poor of his people nshall ||ptrust in it.

15 *The aburden of bMoab.

Because cin the night dAr of Moab is laid waste, and ||brought to silence;

eBecause in the night fKir of Moab is laid waste, and ||brought to silence;

2  He is gone up to ffBajith, and to gDibon, hthe high places, to weep:

Moab ishall howl over kNebo, and over lMedeba:

On all their heads shall be mbaldness, and nevery beard cut off.
