Isaiah 13:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴ Listen, a tumult on the mountains
    as of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar of kingdoms,
    of nations gathering together!
The Lord of hosts is mustering
    an army for battle.
⁵ They come from a distant land,
    from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
    to destroy the whole earth.

⁶ Wail, for the day of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty!^[a]
