Listen to the loud noise in the mountains,
    the sound of many people.
Listen to the noise among the kingdoms,
    the sound of nations gathering together.
The Lord All-Powerful is calling
    his army together for battle.
This army is coming from a faraway land,
    from the edge of the horizon.
In anger the Lord is using this army like a weapon
    to destroy the whole country.

Cry, because the Lord’s day of judging is near;
    the Almighty is sending destruction.
