Isaiah 13:1

Isaiah 13:1

Proclamation Against Babylon

1 The ^aburden against Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.

2 “Lift^a up a banner ^bon the high mountain,
Raise your voice to them;
^cWave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.

3 I have commanded My¹ sanctified ones;
I have also called ^aMy mighty ones for My anger—
Those who ^brejoice in My exaltation.”

4 The ^anoise of a multitude in the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!
The Lord of hosts musters
The army for battle.

5 They come from a far country,
From the end of heaven—
The ^aLord and His weapons of indignation,
To destroy the whole ^bland.

6 Wail, ^afor the day of the Lord is at hand!
^bIt will come as destruction from the Almighty.

7 Therefore all hands will be limp,
Every man’s heart will melt,
