Isaiah 13:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
13 The Medes and Persians shall destroy Babylon.
1 The [a]burden of Babel, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Lift up a standard upon the high mountain: lift up the voice unto them: wag the [b]hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded them, that I have [c]sanctified: and I have called the mighty to my wrath, and them that rejoice in my [d]glory.

- Isaiah 13:1 That is, the great calamity, which was prophesied to come on Babel, as a most grievous burden, which they were not able to bear. In these twelve chapters following, he speaketh of the plagues wherewith God would smite the strange nations (whom they knew) to declare that God chastised the Israelites as his children, and these others as his enemies: and also if that God spare not these that are ignorant, that they must not think strange, if he punish them which have knowledge of his Law, and keep it not.
- Isaiah 13:2 To wit, the Medes and Persians.
- Isaiah 13:3 That is, prepared and appointed to execute my judgments.
- Isaiah 13:3 Which willingly go about to the work whereunto I appoint them, but how the wicked do this, read Isa. 10:6.
