RF ISA 13:1 Ode 19.
The Burden of Babylon that Isaiah ben Amoz foresaw.
RF ISA 13:2 Hoist the Standard to view on the Hill,—
Call to them—and with the hand beckon,
And the Princes will enter the gates!
RF ISA 13:3 I have commanded My saints, I have called to My Heroes,
My fierce and My proud, and My haughty,
RF ISA 13:4 The High Hills re-echo a great people's movement,
The sound of the Leaders of Nations collecting;—
The LORD OF HOSTs mustering His Army for Battle!
RF ISA 13:5 They come from a land at a distance,
From the boundary of Heaven,
And the LORD with His weapon of anger,
To punish your land.
RF ISA 13:6 Howl! for the day of the LORD is arriving!
Like a robber for plunder it comes!
RF ISA 13:7 Therefore all hands hang down,
And each man's heart will melt,
RF ISA 13:8 Will be terrified, tortured, and writhe
In anguish like women in childbirth!
Each his friend will affright,
Face flaming to face,
RF ISA 13:9 Look! the LORD'S day has come!—
Fierce, o'erwhelming, and furious with anger,
To turn the Earth into a waste,
And the wicked destroy upon her."
RF ISA 13:10 Then the stars of the skies and the planets
Will no longer shine with their light.
In darkness the Sun will come forth,
And the Moon will not give out her beam,
RF ISA 13:11 When I visit her sin on the world,
And on the Wicked their crime.
Make the pride of the haughty to cease,
And the might of the terrible fall.
RF ISA 13:12 And make mortals more precious than gold,
And mankind than the purest from Ophir.
RF ISA 13:13 For the Heavens will tremble, earth shake from her place
At the LORD OF HOSTS' anger and day of fierce wrath;
RF ISA 13:14 They shall be like a stag, or a Shepherdless flock,
Each to his Nation will fly,
RF ISA 13:15 And everyone march to his land,
And all met will be stabbed,
All caught by the sword;
RF ISA 13:16 Their children flung down in their sight,
Their homes plundered and ravished their wives,
RF ISA 13:17 For I will raise on them the Medes,
Whom silver will never restrain,
And who have no desire for gold.
RF ISA 13:18 Their Archers will break the young men;
Nor pity the fruit of the womb,
Nor their eyes have regard to a child,
RF ISA 13:19 And Babel, the Swell1 of the Kingdoms,
The crown of the pride of Kaldees,
Like Gomorah and Sodom whom GOD overwhelmed,
RF ISA 13:20 Not inhabited ever Or dwelt in for ages,
Nor camp there the Arabs,
Nor Shepherds there pasture,—
RF ISA 13:21 But Wild Beasts shall cower,—
With yells fill their houses,—
And Daughters of Woe shall reside,2
RF ISA 13:22 And the gorilla shall dance!—
And her widowhood Hyenas mourn,—
And snakes in her Temples delight!—
And soon it will come,
For her period shall not be for long.
—————
1 Ch. 13, v. 19. It is strange that this modern slang term is the only accurate translation of Isaiah's Hebrew 'Tzbi', to swell, to swell up, say the Lexicons.
2 Ch. 13, v. 21. Daughters of Woe is the poetic name for the Ostrich in Hebrew owing to the sobbing wail uttered by that bird at night.
