The Lord Will Judge Babylon This is an oracle about Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz saw:
On a bare hill raise a signal flag, shout to them, wave your hand, so they might enter the gates of the princes!
I have given orders to my chosen soldiers; I have summoned the warriors through whom I will vent my anger, my boasting, arrogant ones.
There is a loud noise on the mountains– it sounds like a large army! There is great commotion among the kingdoms– nations are being assembled! The LORD of Heaven’s Armies is mustering forces for battle.
They come from a distant land, from the horizon. It is the LORD with his instruments of judgment, coming to destroy the whole earth.
Wail, for the LORD’s day of judgment is near; it comes with all the destructive power of the Sovereign One.
For this reason all hands hang limp, every human heart loses its courage.
