Isaias

XII. I And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will thank thee; for thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

2 Behold, God my salvation: I will trust, and not be afraid; for JAH the LORD is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation.

3 And ye shall draw water with joy out of the wells of- salvation.

4 And in that day shall ye say, Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim in his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, make mention that his name is exalted.

5 Make music to the LORD, for he hath wrought excellence: let this be known in all the earth.

6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitress of Zion; for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

XIII. 1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2 Lift ye up an ensign upon a bare mountain; raise (the voice) unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3 I, I have charged my consecrated ones, ’have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, that exult in my excellence.

4 The voice of an uproar, like as of a great people; the voice of a tumult of the kingdoms of nations gathered together; the LORD of Hosts mustereth a host of war.

5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens; the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole earth.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD ’is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore shall all hands be slack, and every ’s heart shall melt,

8 And they shall be dismayed: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall writhe as a travailing woman; they shall look aghast one at another: faces of flame are their faces.

9 Behold, the ’day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and wrath and fierce anger, to make the earth a desolation, and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

10 For the stars of heaven, and the Orions thereof, shall not give forth their light; the sun shall be dark at his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
