Isaiah 13:2-4

Good News Translation

² On the top of a barren hill raise the battle flag! Shout to the soldiers and raise your arm as the signal for them to attack the gates of the proud city. ³ The Lord has called out his proud and confident soldiers to fight a holy war and punish those he is angry with.

⁴ Listen to the noise on the mountains—the sound of a great crowd of people, the sound of nations and kingdoms gathering. The Lord of Armies is preparing his troops for battle.
