Listen! There is restlessness and rumbling on the mountains,
    as a powerful company assembles.
Listen! There is an uproar among the nations
    as they gather their might together.
The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies,
    is mustering an army—thousands, maybe millions—for war.
They come from lands far away,
    beyond distant horizons.
That’s where the Eternal calls up His weapons of wrath—
    in order to destroy the whole land!

Cry out in terror!—the time is coming;
    the day of the Eternal is nearly here,
Violence and destruction as only God-All-Powerful can wreak.

Listen, a noise on the mountains,

The Lord Almighty(C) is mustering(D)
    an army for war.
They come from faraway lands,
    from the ends of the heavens(E)
the Lord and the weapons(F) of his wrath(G)
    to destroy(H) the whole country.

Wail,(I) for the day(J) of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction(K) from the Almighty.[a](L)

  1. Isaiah 13:6 Hebrew Shaddai

The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
