Read in context

Isaiah 13:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received:

2 Raise a banner on a barren hilltop; call aloud to them. Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.

3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.

4 Listen, 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.
