1 An oracle against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
2 Lift up a banner on a barren mountain. Call out to them.Wave your hand, and they will gothrough the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My chosen ones;I have also called My warriors,who exult in My triumph,to execute My wrath.
4 Listen, a tumult on the mountains,like that of a mighty people!Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,like nations being gathered together!The Lord of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.
