Isaiah 13:3-5

New Century Version

³I myself have commanded those people
whom I have separated as mine.
I have called those warriors to carry out my anger.
They rejoice and are glad to do my will.

⁴Listen to the loud noise in the mountains,
    the sound of many people.
Listen to the noise among the kingdoms,
    the sound of nations gathering together.
The Lord All-Powerful is calling
    his army together for battle.
⁵This army is coming from a faraway land,
    from the edge of the horizon.
In anger the Lord is using this army like a weapon
    to destroy the whole country.
