TSK · Isaiah 21:2

The sonnes of Shem were Elam and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.

Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighes of the poore, I will vp, sayeth the Lord, and will set at libertie him, whom the wicked hath snared.

Let the sighing of the prisoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preserue the children of death,

Good vnderstanding maketh acceptable: but the way of the disobedient is hated.

Lift vp a standard vpon the hie mountaine: lift vp the voyce vnto them: wagge the hand, that they may goe into the gates of the nobles.

For the Lord wil haue compassion of Iaakob, and wil yet chuse Israel, and cause them to rest in their owne lande: and the stranger shall ioyne him selfe vnto them, and they shall cleaue to the house of Iaakob.

The whole worlde is at rest and is quiet: they sing for ioye.

From the vttermost part of the earth wee haue heard praises, euen glory to the iust, and I sayd, My leanesse, my leanesse, woe is mee: the transgressours haue offended: yea, the transgressours haue grieuously offended.

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall returne and come to Zion with prayse: and euerlasting ioy shall bee vpon their heads: they shall obteine ioye and gladnesse, and sorow and mourning shall flee away.

And all the Kings of Zimri, and all the Kings of Elam, and all the Kings of the Medes,

Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon him, saith the Lorde.

Thus sayeth the Lorde of hostes, Beholde, I will breake the bowe of Elam, euen the chiefe of their strength.

But their strong redeemer, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, he shall maintaine their cause, that he may giue rest to the lande, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babel.

Make bright the arrowes: gather the shieldes: the Lorde hath raised vp the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, and the vengeance of his Temple.

I wil also visite Bel in Babel, & I wil bring out of his mouth, that which he hath swallowed vp, and the nations shal runne no more vnto him, and the wall of Babel shal fall.

Though Babel should mount vp to heauen, and though shee should defend her strength on hye, yet from mee shall her destroyers come, sayth the Lord.

Peres, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians.

The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians.

And am greatly angrie against the carelesse heathen: for I was angrie but a litle, and they helped forward the affliction.
