New King James Version

Isaiah 13:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.
