Rh :That shall remain from Assyria,
 * Like as there was for Israel
 * In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.


 * And in that day thou shalt say:
 * 'I will give thanks unto Thee, O ;
 * For though Thou was angry with me,
 * Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortest me.
 * Behold, God is my salvation;
 * I will trust, and will not be afraid;
 * For the  is my strength and song;
 * And He is become my salvation.'
 * Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
 * Out of the wells of salvation.
 * And in that day shall ye say:
 * 'Give thanks unto the, proclaim His name,
 * Declare His doings among the peoples,
 * Make mention that His name is exalted.
 * Sing unto the ; for He hath done gloriously;
 * This is made known in all the earth.
 * Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion,
 * For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.'

The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.


 * Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain,
 * Lift up the voice unto them,
 * Wave the hand, that they may go
 * Into the gates of the nobles.
 * I have commanded My consecrated ones,
 * Yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger,
 * Even My proudly exulting ones.
 * Hark, a tumult in the mountains,
 * Like as of a great people!
 * Hark, the uproar of the kingdoms
 * Of the nations gathered together!
 * The of hosts mustereth
 * The host of the battle.


 * They come from a far country,
 * From the end of heaven,
 * Even the, and the weapons of His indignation,
 * To destroy the whole earth.
 * Howl ye; for the day of the is at hand;
 * As destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
 * Therefore shall all hands be slack,
 * And every heart of man shall melt.
 * And they shall be affrighted;
 * Pangs and throes shall take hold of them;
 * They shall be in pain as a woman in travail;
 * They shall look aghast one at another;
 * Their faces shall be faces of flame.


 * Behold, the day of the cometh,
 * Cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger;
 * To make the earth a desolation,
 * And to destroy the sinners thereof out of it,
 * For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof
 * Shall not give their light;
 * The sun shall be darkened in his going forth,
 * And the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
 * And I will visit upon the world their evil,
 * And upon the wicked their iniquity;
 * And I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease,
