Raise your voice to them;
cWave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
I have also called aMy mighty ones for My anger—
Those who brejoice in My exaltation.”
Like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!
The Lord of hosts musters
The army for battle.
From the end of heaven—
The aLord and His weapons of indignation,
To destroy the whole bland.
aPangs1 and sorrows will take hold of them;
They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth;
They will be amazed at one another;
Their faces will be like flames.
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy bits sinners from it.
Will not give their light;
The sun will be adarkened in its going forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to shine.
And the wicked for their iniquity;
bI will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the1 terrible.
And the earth will move out of her place,
In the wrath of the Lord of hosts
And in bthe day of His fierce anger.
And as a sheep that no man1 takes up;
aEvery man will turn to his own people,
And everyone will flee to his own land.
And everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
Their houses will be plundered
And their wives bravished.
Who will not1 regard silver;
And as for gold, they will not delight in it.
And they will have no pity on the fruit of the womb;
Their eye will not spare children.
The beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride,
Will be as when God overthrew bSodom and Gomorrah.

the mountains—namely, which separate Media and Assyria, and on one of which the banner to rally the hosts is supposed to be reared.
