Isaiah 13:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴Listen to the loud noise in the mountains.
    It sounds like many people.
Listen to the noise among the kingdoms.
    Nations are gathering together.
The Lord of heaven’s armies is calling
    his army together for battle.
⁵This army is coming from a faraway land.
    It is coming from the edge of the horizon.
In anger the Lord is using this army like a weapon.
    And it will destroy the whole country.

⁶Cry, because the Lord’s day of judging is near.
God All-Powerful is sending destruction.
