Isaiah 13:1-22
A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw.the Lord and the weapons of his wrath - to destroy the whole country.
I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins, I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold.
Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians,, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations.
The song of God's salvation will be on every one's lips. Isaiah picture is all in physical terms. But what he sees is a radical change. This is a new earth, centered on God and obedient to his will.
Why?
Babylon was so strong country, but will be destroyed by the Lord for their arrogance of the haughty.
No arrogance men or country could stand firm and longer before the Lord, when the day is come, their pride will fall soon and unbelievable.
How?
Be humble and follow the command of the Lord.
