Isaiah 13:1-5
New American Standard Bible
2Lift up a flag on the bare hill, Raise your voice to them, Wave the hand that they may enter the doors of the nobles.
3I have commanded My consecrated ones, I have also called for My warriors Who boast in My eminence, To execute My anger.
4A sound of a roar on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of an uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The Lord of armies is mustering the army for battle.
5They are coming from a distant country, From the farthest horizons, The Lord and the weapons of His indignation, To destroy the whole land.
King James Version
