God’s Message to Babylon

13 God showed Isaiah son of Amoz this message[a] about Babylon:

2 “Raise a flag on that mountain[b] where nothing grows.
    Call out to the men.
Wave your arms to let them know
    they should enter through the gates for important leaders.

3 “I have separated these men from the people,
    and I myself will command them.
I have gathered these proud, happy soldiers of mine
    to show how angry I am.
