1 This is the message that I was given about Babylon:
2 From high on a barren hillgive a signal, shout the orders,and point the wayto enter the gatesof Babylon's proud rulers.
3 The Lord has commandedhis very best warriorsand his proud heroesto show how angry he is.
4 Listen to the noisy crowdson the mountains!Kingdoms and nationsare joining forces.The Lord All-Powerfulis bringing togetheran army for battle.
5 From a distant landthe Lord is comingfierce and furious—he brings his weaponsto destroy the earth.
