1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. |
2 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. |
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness. |
4 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. |
5 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. |
