God Will Punish His Enemies

34 All you nations, come near and listen.
    Pay attention, you peoples!
The earth and ·everything in it [all it contains] should listen,
    the world and all ·the people in it [its offspring].
The Lord is angry with all the nations;
    he is ·angry [furious] with their armies.
    He will ·destroy them [devote them to destruction; Josh. 6:21] and ·kill them all [turn them over for slaughter].

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 34:2 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them; also in verse 5.

34 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
