I myself have commanded those people
    whom I have separated as mine.
I have called those warriors to carry out my anger.
    They rejoice and are glad to do my will.

Listen to the loud noise in the mountains,
    the sound of many people.
Listen to the noise among the kingdoms,
    the sound of nations gathering together.
The Lord All-Powerful is calling
    his army together for battle.
This army is coming from a faraway land,
    from the edge of the horizon.
In anger the Lord is using this army like a weapon
    to destroy the whole country.
