* The burden of Babylon , which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw . * Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain . Lift up the voice to them . Wave the hand , that they may go into the gates of the nobles . * I have commanded my consecrated ones , yea , I have called my mighty men for my anger , even my proudly exulting ones . * The noise of a multitude in the mountains , as of a great people ! The noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together ! LORD of hosts is mustering the army for the battle . * They come from a far country , from the outermost part of heaven , even LORD , and the weapons of his indignation , to destroy the whole land . * Wail ye , for the day of LORD is at hand . It shall come as destruction from the Almighty . * Therefore all hands shall be feeble , and every heart of man shall melt . * And they shall be dismayed . Pangs and sorrows shall take hold . They shall be in pain as a woman in travail . They shall look in amazement one at another , their faces , faces of flame . * Behold , the day of LORD comes , cruel , with wrath and fierce anger , to make the land a desolation , and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it . * For the stars of heaven and the constellations of it shall not give their light . The sun shall be darkened in its going forth , and the moon shall not cause its light to shine . * And I will punish the world for the evil , and the wicked for their iniquity . And I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease , and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible . * I will make a man more rare than fine gold , even a man than the pure gold of Ophir . * Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble , and the earth shall be shaken out of its place , in the wrath of LORD of hosts , and in the day of his fierce anger . * And it shall come to pass , that as the chased roe , and as sheep that no man gathers , they shall turn every man to his own people , and shall flee every man to his own land .
