'Lift' in the Bible

“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights and see;Where have you not been violated?By the roads you have sat for themLike an Arab in the desert,And you have polluted a landWith your harlotry and with your wickedness.

“Lift up a standard toward Zion!Seek refuge, do not stand still,For I am bringing evil from the north,And great destruction.

“Report it to the nations, now!Proclaim over Jerusalem,‘Besiegers come from a far country,And lift their voices against the cities of Judah.

“Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.

“Lift up your eyes and seeThose coming from the north.Where is the flock that was given you,Your beautiful sheep?

“Go up to Lebanon and cry out,And lift up your voice in Bashan;Cry out also from Abarim,For all your lovers have been crushed.

“Declare and proclaim among the nations.Proclaim it and lift up a standard.Do not conceal it but say,‘Babylon has been captured,Bel has been put to shame, Marduk has been shattered;Her images have been put to shame, her idols have been shattered.’

Lift up a signal against the walls of Babylon;Post a strong guard,Station sentries,Place men in ambush!For the Lord has both purposed and performedWhat He spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

Lift up a signal in the land,Blow a trumpet among the nations!Consecrate the nations against her,Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni and Ashkenaz;Appoint a marshal against her,Bring up the horses like bristly locusts.
