ራእይ፡ ዘርእየ፡ ኢሳይያስ፡ ወልደ፡ አሞጽ፡ በእንተ፡ ባቢሎን።
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Yahweh of Armies is mustering the army for the battle.
They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.

I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger.

人必像被追趕的鹿, 像無人收聚的羊, 各歸回本族, 各逃到本土。
13:15
ወእለሂ፡ ተዘርዉ፡ ይመውቱ፣፡ ወእለሂ፡ ተጋብኡ፡ ይወድቁ፡ በኵናት።
Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
