23:013:011 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.
23:013:012 I will make a man more precious than fine
gold; even a man
than
the golden wedge of Ophir.
23:013:013 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.
23:013:014 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.
23:013:015 Every one that is found shall be thrust
through; and every one
that
is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
23:013:016 Their children also shall be dashed to
pieces before their
eyes;
their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
23:013:017 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against
them, which shall not
regard
silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in
it.
23:013:018 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.
23:013:019 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the
beauty of the
Chaldees’
excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah.
23:013:020 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.
23:013:021 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.
23:013:022 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.
23:014:001 For the lord will have mercy on Jacob,
and will yet choose
Israel,
and set them in their own land: and the strangers
shall
be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house
of
Jacob.
23:014:002 And the people shall take them, and bring
them to their place:
and
the house of Israel shall possess them in the land
of the
lord
for servants and handmaids: and they shall take
them
captives,
whose captives they were; and they shall rule over
their
oppressors.
23:014:003 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,
