34 Come near, you nations, to hear!
    Listen, you peoples.
    Let the earth and all it contains hear,
    the world, and everything that comes from it.
For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations,
    and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
    He has given them over for slaughter.
Their slain will also be cast out,
    and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.
    The mountains will melt in their blood.
All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
    The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
    and all its armies will fade away,
    as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.

The Judgment of the Nations

34 You nations, come here and listen;
you peoples, pay attention!(A)
Let the earth and all that fills it hear,
the world and all that comes from it.(B)
The Lord is angry with all the nations,
furious with all their armies.(C)
He will set them apart for destruction,(D)
giving them over to slaughter.
Their slain will be thrown out,
and the stench of their corpses will rise;(E)
the mountains will flow[a] with their blood.(F)
All[b] the stars in the sky(G) will dissolve.
The sky will roll up like a scroll,(H)
and its stars will all wither
as leaves wither on the vine,
and foliage on the fig tree.(I)
