13:1-3 God's prophet was instructed to get the Babylonian nation's attention: God has a message for them. Their corrupt behavior caused God to allow an enemy into their land to take it over. Evil cannot retain its land, its power or possessions. It cannot retain its life.
13:4-5 A massive army approached to bring destruction to the entire land.
13:6-8 The wicked will be made to lament because of their unrighteous lifestyle. They will witness the loss of all of their corruptly-obtained power and possession.
13:9-10 Isaiah prophesied for an ancient Babylonian people but he also prophesies for the ultimate arrival of God. God will arrive with judgement for the unrighteous and His presence will be enough to rewrite the laws of nature as we know them.
13:11-16 The system of the world will be punished and humbled because of its corruption. God's wrath is ignited when unrighteous harms the well-bring of His children and therefore He arrives with a firm and fierce plan of judgement.
13:17-22 The corrupt kingdom/system of the world turned to a wasteland. A wasteland to reflect what their own corruption had done to it.
