Isaiah 13:3-5
3I myself have commanded my consecrated ones,and have summoned my mighty men to execute my anger,
my proudly exulting ones. ▼
▼Or those who exult in my majesty
4 The sound bof a tumult is on the mountains
as of a great multitude!
The sound of an uproar of kingdoms,
of nations gathering together!
cThe Lord of hosts is mustering
a host for battle.
5 dThey come from a distant land,
from the end of the heavens,
the Lord and the weapons of his indignation,
to destroy the whole land. ▼
▼Or earth; also verse 9
Jeremiah 50:9
9For behold, I am stirring up and bringing against Babylon fa gathering of great nations, from the north country. And they shall array themselves against her. From there she shall be taken. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.Jeremiah 50:14-16
14 gSet yourselves in array against Babylon all around,hall you who bend the bow;
shoot at her, spare no arrows,
ifor she has sinned against the Lord.
15 jRaise a shout against her all around;
she has surrendered;
her bulwarks have fallen;
kher walls are thrown down.
For lthis is the vengeance of the Lord:
take vengeance on her;
mdo to her as she has done.
16Cut off from Babylon the sower,
and the one who handles the sickle in time of harvest;
nbecause of the sword of the oppressor,
oevery one shall turn to his own people,
and every one shall flee to his own land.

▼That is, set apart ( devote) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)
declares the Lord,
and do all that I have commanded you.
Amos 3:6
6 tIs a trumpet blown in a city,and the people are not afraid?
uDoes disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?
