- The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
- Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
- I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
- The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
- They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

- An oracle concerning Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
- Raise a banner on a bare hilltop, shout to them; beckon to them to enter the gates of the nobles.
- I have commanded my holy ones; I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath-- those who rejoice in my triumph.
- Listen, a noise on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war.
- They come from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens-- the LORD and the weapons of his wrath-- to destroy the whole country.
