“Raise a banner on a bare hilltop!
    Cry out loud to them!
Give a wave of the hand,
    signaling[a] for them to enter[b]
        the gates of the nobles.
I myself have commanded my consecrated ones;
    I have also summoned my warriors,
those who rejoice in my triumph,
    to carry out my angry judgments.[c]

“Listen! There’s a noise on the mountains
    like that of a great multitude!
Listen! There’s an uproar among the kingdoms,
    like that of nations massing together!
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies is mustering
    an army for battle.
