1 The oracle of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
2 Raise a signal on a bare hill, lift up your voice to them; wave the hand and may they enter the gateways of the noblemen.
3 I have commanded My holy ones; I have also called My warriors for My anger, those who rejoice in My highness.
4 A sound, a noise is on the mountains, the likeness of many people! A sound of the roar of the kingdoms, of nations gathering! the LORD Almighty is mustering an army for battle.
5 They come from a distant land, from the end of the heavens, the LORD and the weapons of His wrath, to destroy all the land.
6 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from Shaddai!
7 Therefore all hands will grow slack, and every human heart will melt,
8 and they will be dismayed. Pangs and labor pains will seize them; they will tremble like a woman giving birth. They will stare at one another, their faces flushing.
9 Look, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.
10 "The stars of heaven and their constellations will not shine forth their light. The sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shine its light.
11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even man than the gold of Ophir.
13 "Therefore I will make the heavens tremble. The earth will shake from its place at the fury of the LORD Almighty in the day of his burning anger.
14 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
