3I have commanded My chosen ones;

I have also called My warriors,

who exult in My triumph,

to execute My wrath. r

4Listen, a tumult on the mountains,

like that of a mighty people!

Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,

like nations being gathered together!

The Lord of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.

5They are coming from a far land,

from the distant horizon—

the Lord and the weapons of His wrath—

to destroy the whole country. s
