³ I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
    I have summoned my warriors^(A) to carry out my wrath^(B)—
    those who rejoice^(C) in my triumph.

⁴ Listen, a noise on the mountains,
    like that of a great multitude!^(D)
Listen, an uproar^(E) among the kingdoms,
    like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty^(F) is mustering^(G)
    an army for war.
⁵ They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens^(H)—
the Lord and the weapons^(I) of his wrath^(J)—
    to destroy^(K) the whole country.
