2 “Lift(B) up a banner (C)on the high mountain,
Raise your voice to them;

Those who (F)rejoice in My exaltation.”

Like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!

From the end of heaven—
The (H)Lord and His [c]weapons of indignation,
To destroy the whole (I)land.
