2 Lift ye up an ensign upon a bare mountain; raise (the voice) unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3 I, I have charged my consecrated ones, ’have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, that exult in my excellence.

4 The voice of an uproar, like as of a great people; the voice of a tumult of the kingdoms of nations gathered together; the LORD of Hosts mustereth a host of war.

5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens; the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole earth.

6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD ’is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
