Isaiah 13:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 (A)Lift up a flag on the [a](B)bare hill,
Raise your voice to them,
(C)Wave the hand that they may (D)enter the doors of the nobles.
3 I have commanded My consecrated ones,
I have also called for My (E)warriors
Who boast in My eminence,
To execute My anger.
4 A (F)sound of a roar on the mountains,
Like that of many people!
A sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
Of nations gathered together!
The Lord of armies is mustering the army for battle.
5 They are coming from a distant country,
From the [b](G)farthest horizons,
The Lord and the weapons of His (H)indignation,
To (I)destroy the whole land.

2 Raise a banner(A) on a bare hilltop,
shout to them;
beckon to them
to enter the gates(B) of the nobles.

those who rejoice(E) in my triumph.

like that of a great multitude!(F)
Listen, an uproar(G) among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty(H) is mustering(I)

from the ends of the heavens(J)—
the Lord and the weapons(K) of his wrath(L)—
to destroy(M) the whole country.
