Judgment on the Nations

34 Draw near, (A)O nations, to hear,
    and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
    the world, and all that comes from it.
For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
    and furious against all their host;
    he has (B)devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.
Their slain shall be cast out,
    and (C)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
    (D)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
(E)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
    and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
    as leaves fall from the vine,
    like leaves falling from the fig tree.

Judgment of the Nations

34 “Come near, you nations, to listen,
    and pay attention, you peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
    the world, and all that comes out of it.
For the Lord is angry against all the nations,
    and furious against all their armies.
He has doomed them to destruction,
    and[a] given them up to be slaughtered.[b]
Their slain[c] will be thrown out;
    and as for their dead bodies—
their stench will ascend;
    the[d] mountains will be soaked with their blood.
The valleys will be split,
    all the stars[e] in the heavens will fall down,[f]
        and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll.
All their starry host will fade away
    like leaves withering on a vine,
        or fruit withering on a fig tree.
