1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
2 Lift up a banner on the high mountain,exalt the voice to them,shake the hand,that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My sanctified ones,I have also called My mighty ones for My anger,even those who rejoice in My exaltation.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains,like as of a great people!A tumultuous noise of the kingdomsof 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 the weapons of His indignation,to destroy the whole land.
6 Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand!It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore all hands shall be faint,and every man’s heart shall melt,
