Isaiah 13:1-5

Prophecies about Babylon

1 The 1oracle concerning 2Babylon which 3Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
2 4Lift up a standard on the 5bare hill, Raise your voice to them, 6Wave the hand that they may 7enter the doors of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My consecrated ones, I have even called My 8mighty warriors, My proudly exulting ones, To execute My anger.
4 A 9sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle.
5 They are coming from a far country, From the 10farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of 11indignation, To 12destroy the whole land.
