34 Gather around, everyone. All peoples take note!
    The earth and everything in it,
The world and all that comes from it should hear this, too,
² For the Eternal One is furious with all the nations. He has had it with their armies.
    He has marked them for destruction, and has given them over to slaughter.
³ Their blood will run like rivers down the mountains,
    their corpses tossed out, heaped up, and randomly piled in a great stinking mound.
⁴ All the stars in the once-vibrant heavens will vanish:
    and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll.
All the starry hosts will wither and fall,
    like grape leaves crisped by fall or fig leaves shriveled by winter.^[a]
