End of Babylon and the World

13 The burden[a] of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:

Lift up a banner on a bare mountain,
raise a voice to them, wave a hand,
so that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
I have commanded My consecrated ones,
yes, I have called My mighty ones,
    My proud exulting ones, for My fury.
A sound of tumult in the mountains
    like that of many people!
A sound of uproar of kingdoms,
    of nations gathered!
Adonai-Tzva’ot is mustering
    the army for battle.
They are coming from a far country—
from the end of the heavens—
Adonai and the weapons of His wrath,
to destroy the whole land.
