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,
