Isaiah 13 · Grade 4

The Day of Yahweh

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 13 begins a new part of the book: messages to the nations. The first is "The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw." God called his "mighty men" from a far country to come against the proud city. Isaiah called it Yahweh's day.

God said, "I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity." He would "humble the arrogance of the terrible." The sun, moon, and stars would not give their light, a picture of great trouble.

God named the nation he would use: "I will stir up the Medes against them." They would not value silver or gold. Babylon, "the glory of kingdoms," would be overthrown like Sodom and Gomorrah. It would never be lived in again, and wild animals would live in its ruins.
