Allyou inhabitantsof the worldand dwellerson earth,As soon as a standardis raisedon the mountains,you will see[it], And as soon as the trumpetis blown,you will hear[it].
The MightyOne,God,the LORD,has spoken,And summonedthe earthfrom the risingof the sunto its setting.
Listen,O heavens,and hear,O earth;For the LORDspeaks,"SonsI have rearedand broughtup, But they have revoltedagainst Me.
And He will liftup a standardfor the nationsAnd assemblethe banishedones of Israel,And will gatherthe dispersedof JudahFrom the fourcornersof the earth.
Liftup a standardon the barehill,Raiseyour voiceto them, Wavethe handthat they may enterthe doorsof the nobles.
A soundof tumulton the mountains,Likethat of manypeople!A soundof the uproarof kingdoms,Of nationsgatheredtogether! The LORDof hostsis musteringthe armyfor battle.
O LORD,Your handis liftedup [yet] they do not seeit. They see[Your] zealfor the peopleand are putto shame;Indeed,firewill devourYour enemies.
"His rockwill passawaybecauseof panic,And his princeswill be terrifiedat the standard,"Declaresthe LORD,whosefireis in Zionand whose furnaceis in Jerusalem.
Thussaysthe LordGOD,"Behold,I will liftup My handto the nationsAnd setup My standardto the peoples;And they will bringyour sonsin [their] bosom,And your daughterswill be carriedon [their] shoulders.
He will also liftup a standardto the distantnation,And will whistlefor it from the endsof the earth;And behold,it will comewith speedswiftly.
In that daythe LORDwill whistlefor the flythat is in the remotestpartof the riversof Egyptand for the beethat is in the landof Assyria.
"O land,land,land,Hearthe wordof the LORD!
Liftup a signalin the land,Blowa trumpetamong the nations!Consecratethe nationsagainsther, Summonagainsther the kingdomsof Ararat,Minniand Ashkenaz;Appointa marshalagainsther, Bringup the horseslike bristlylocusts.
Hear,O peoples,allof you; Listen,O earthand allit contains,And let the LordGODbe a witnessagainst you, The Lordfrom His holytemple.
"Listen,you mountains,to the indictmentof the LORD,And you enduringfoundationsof the earth,Becausethe LORDhas a caseagainstHis people;Even with IsraelHe will dispute.
The voiceof the LORDwill callto the city--And it is soundwisdomto fearYour name:"Hear,O tribe.Whohas appointedits time?
Then the LORDwill appearoverthem, And His arrowwill goforthlike lightning;And the LordGODwill blowthe trumpet,And will marchin the stormwindsof the south.
"But blessedare your eyes,becausethey see;and your ears,becausethey hear.
"He who hasears,let him hear."
