* The burden of Babylon , which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw . * Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain , raise the voice unto them , shake the hand , that they may enter the gates of the nobles . * I have commanded my hallowed ones , I have also called my mighty men for mine anger , them that rejoice in my highness . * The noise of a multitude on the mountains , as of a great people ; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together : Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle . * They come from a far country , from the end of the heavens -- Jehovah , and the weapons of his indignation -- to destroy the whole land . * Howl , for the day of Jehovah is at hand ; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty . * Therefore shall all hands be feeble , and every heart of man shall melt , * and they shall be terrified : pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them , they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth ; they shall be amazed one at another , their faces shall be as flames . * Behold , the day of Jehovah cometh , cruel both with wrath and fierce anger , to lay the earth desolate ; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it . * For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light ; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth , and the moon shall not cause her light to shine . * And I will punish the world for evil , and the wicked for their iniquity ; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease , and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent . * I will make a man more precious than fine gold , even man than the gold of Ophir . * Therefore I will make the heavens to shake , and the earth shall be removed out of her place , at the wrath of Jehovah of hosts , and in the day of his fierce anger . * And it shall be as with a chased roe , and as with a flock that no man gathereth together ; every one shall turn to his own people , and every one flee into his own land .
