1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen. 2 Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner! Raise high your voice to them. Wave a hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles. 3 I have commanded My holy ones; also, I have called My mighty ones for My nose—those jubilant ones of My pride. 4 The voice of a crowd on the mountains, like that of many people—the voice of a roar of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! YHWH of Hosts is mustering a host for battle! 5 They are coming from a land far off, from the end of the heavens—YHWH and the instruments of His indignation—to destroy all the land. 6 Wail, for the day of YHWH is near; it will come as destruction from Shaddai. 7 At this all hands will go limp, and every heart of man will melt; 8 and they will be afraid; pains and pangs will seize them; like a woman in labor they will writhe. Each man to his neighbor will look with astonishment, with faces aflame—their faces. Isaiah 13:1-8, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
