A prophecy against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
2 Yīngdāng zaì jìng guāng de shān shù lì dà qí , xiàng qúnzhòng yáng shēng zhāo shǒu , shǐ tāmen jìnrù guìzhòu de mén .
2
Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles.

3
I have commanded those I prepared for battle; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath— those who rejoice in my triumph.
4 Shān jiān yǒu duō rén de shēngyīn , hǎoxiàng shì dà guó rénmín . yǒu xǔduō guó de mín jùjí hōng nāng de shēngyīn . zhè shì wàn jūn zhī Yēhéhuá diǎn qí jūnduì , yùbeì dǎzhàng .
4
Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war.
5 Tāmen cóng yuǎnfāng lái , cóng tiān bian lái , jiù shì Yēhéhuá bìng tā nǎohèn de bīngqì , yào huǐmiè zhè quán dì .
5
They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the LORD and the weapons of his wrath— to destroy the whole country.

Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.

Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame.

I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
