Isaiah

Isaiah 13:1–3

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

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.
