2Raise a banner on a barren hilltop;
call aloud to them.
Wave your hand,
that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3I have commanded My sanctified ones;
I have even summoned My warriors
to execute My wrath
and exult in My triumph.
4Listen, a tumult on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
like nations gathered together!
The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing
an army for war.
5They are coming from faraway lands,
from the ends of the heavens —
the LORD and the weapons of His wrath —
to destroy the whole country.
— Isaiah 13:2-5
