1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
2 Lift up a banner on a bare mountain, raise a voice to them, wave a hand, so that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My consecrated ones, yes, I have called My mighty ones, My proud exulting ones, for My fury.
4 A sound of tumult in the mountains like that of many people! A sound of uproar of kingdoms, of nations gathered! Adonai-Tzva’ot is mustering the army for battle.
5 They are coming from a far country— from the end of the heavens— Adonai and the weapons of His wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6 Wail, for the day of Adonai is near! it will come as destruction from Shaddai.
7 Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
