Isaiah 13:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴Listen! I hear a noise in the mountains.
    It sounds like a huge crowd.
Listen! I hear a loud noise among the kingdoms.
    It sounds like nations gathering together.
The Lord who rules over all is bringing
    an army together for war.
⁵They come from lands far away.
    They come from the farthest places on earth.
The Lord and those weapons of his anger
    are coming to destroy the whole country of Babylon.

⁶Cry out! The day of the Lord is near.
The Mighty One is coming to destroy the Babylonians.
