- 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.

- The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
- Lift up a standard on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.
- I have commanded My consecrated ones, I have even called My mighty warriors, My proudly exulting ones, To execute My anger.
- A sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle.
- They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.
