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.

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!

to destroy(M) the whole country.
