Isaiah 13:3-5

Good News Translation

³ The Lord has called out his proud and confident soldiers to fight a holy war and punish those he is angry with.

⁴ Listen to the noise on the mountains—the sound of a great crowd of people, the sound of nations and kingdoms gathering. The Lord of Armies is preparing his troops for battle. ⁵ They are coming from far-off countries at the ends of the earth. In his anger the Lord is coming to devastate the whole country.
