* The burden of Babylon , which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw . * Lift ye up [a ] banner [as an example ] upon [the ] high mountain , exalt the voice unto them , raise the hand , that they may enter in by gates of princes . * I have commanded my sanctified ones ; I have also called my mighty ones for my anger that they [might ] rejoice with my glory . * The noise of a multitude in the mountains like as of a great people ; a tumultuous noise of kingdoms , of Gentiles gathered together : the LORD of the hosts orders the host of the battle . * They come from a far land , from the end of the heavens , [even ] the LORD , and the instruments of his indignation , to destroy the whole earth . * Howl ; for the day of the LORD [is ] at hand ; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty . * Therefore all hands shall be faint , and every heart of man shall melt : * And they shall be filled with terror ; anguish and pain shall take hold of them ; they shall be in pain as a woman that travails : they shall be amazed one at another ; their faces [shall be as ] flames . * Behold , the day of the LORD comes , cruel and with wrath and fierce anger , to lay the earth desolate ; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it . * For this reason the stars of the heavens and the lights thereof shall not shine : the sun shall be darkened in his going forth , and the moon shall not give forth her light . * And I will visit evil upon the world and iniquity upon the wicked , and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease and will lay low the haughtiness of the strong . * I will make the [noble ] man more precious than fine gold and man more than the gold of Ophir . * Because I will shake the heavens , and the earth shall be moved out of her place , in the indignation of the LORD of the hosts and in the day of his fierce anger . * And it shall be as the chased roe , and as a sheep without a shepherd : they shall each man look unto his own people , and flee each one unto his own land .
