The Prophet's Burden
Isaiah 13:1-5
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.


Whenever we find the word "burden" in this association it means oracle, a speech of doom; it is never connected with blessing, hope, enlarged opportunity, or expanded liberty; it always means that judgment is swiftly coming, and may at any moment burst upon the thing that is doomed.

(J. Parker, D. D.)
