1. The burden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
2. “Lift up a banner on the high mountain,Raise your voice to them;Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3. I have commanded My sanctified ones;I have also called My mighty ones for My anger—Those who rejoice in My exaltation.”
4. The noise of a multitude in the mountains,Like that of many people!A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!The Lord of hosts mustersThe army for battle.
5. They come from a far country,From the end of heaven—The Lord and His weapons of indignation,To destroy the whole land.
6. Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand!It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7. Therefore all hands will be limp,Every man’s heart will melt,
