Listen! the rumble on the mountains: that of an immense throng! Listen! the noise of kingdoms, nations assembled! The Lord of hosts is mustering an army for battle.
Lord, your hand is raised high, but they do not perceive it; Let them be put to shame when they see your zeal for your people: let the fire prepared for your enemies consume them.
Thus says the Lord God: See, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and to the peoples raise my signal; They shall bring your sons in their arms, your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
Raise a signal in the land, sound the trumpet among the nations; Dedicate nations for war against her, summon against her the kingdoms: Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; Appoint a recruiting officer against her, dispatch horses like bristling locusts.
Hear, O mountains, the Lord’s case, pay attention, O foundations of the earth! For the Lord has a case against his people; he enters into trial with Israel.
