1. The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:
2. Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3. I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
4. The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Yahweh of Armies is mustering the army for the battle.
5. They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6. Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
