31 The tumult(A) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(B) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(C) on all(D) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(E)’”
declares the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(F) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(G)
a mighty storm(H) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(I)

33 At that time those slain(J) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(K) up or buried,(L) but will be like dung lying on the ground.

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.

32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

See what they spew from their mouths(B)

But you laugh at them, Lord;(E)
    you scoff at all those nations.(F)
