1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen: 2 “Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, || Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, || And they go into the openings of nobles. 3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, || Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, || Those rejoicing at My excellence.” 4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, || A likeness of a numerous people, || A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, || YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle! 5 They are coming in from a far-off land, || From the end of the heavens, || YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, || To destroy all the land. 6 Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, || It comes as destruction from the Mighty. 7 Therefore, all hands fail, || And every heart of man melts. 8 And they have been troubled, || Pains and pangs take them, || They are pained as a travailing woman, || A man marvels at his friend, || The appearance of flames—their faces!
