13:1 The cursing of God of Babylon

13 This is the heavy message about Babylon, which Amots’ son Yeshayah (Isaiah) saw:[ref]

2 Raise a banner on the bare mountain.

Call out to them and wave your hand,

and enter the gates of the princes.

3 I have commanded my sanctified ones

as well as angrily summoning warriors—

my boasting, arrogant ones.

4 There’s a loud noise from the mountains,

like that from many people.

It’s the sound of uproar from the kingdoms—

nations that are gathering.

Army commander Yahweh is mustering an army for battle.
