Isaiah 13:1-3

Amplified Bible

Prophecies about Babylon

13 The [mournful, inspired] oracle (^[a]a burden to be carried) concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw [in a prophetic vision]:

²
Lift up a signal banner on the bare mountain,
Summon them [the Medes and Persians] with a loud voice,
Wave the [beckoning] hand so that they may enter the doorways of the [Babylonian] nobles.
³
I [the Lord] have commanded My consecrated ones,
I have even called My great warriors,
My proudly exulting ones [the Medes and the Persians who triumph for My honor]—
To execute My anger.
