1. An oracle concerning Babylon; a vision of Isaiah, son of Amoz.
2. Upon the bare mountains set up a signal;cry out to them,Beckon for them to enterthe gates of the nobles.
3. I have commanded my consecrated ones,I have summoned my warriors,eager and bold to carry out my anger.
4. Listen! the rumble on the mountains:that of an immense throng!Listen! the noise of kingdoms, nations assembled!The Lord of hosts is musteringan army for battle.
