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.

4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
