Isaiah 13:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ Listen to the noisy crowds
    on the mountains!
Kingdoms and nations
    are joining forces.
The Lord All-Powerful
is bringing together
    an army for battle.
⁵ From a distant land
the Lord is coming
    fierce and furious—
he brings his weapons
    to destroy the whole earth.

^6 (A) Cry and weep!
    The day is coming
when the mighty Lord
    will bring destruction.
*
