And all inhabitants of the world,

Psalm 48:4-6
New King James Version
4 For behold, (A)the kings assembled,
They passed by together.
5 They saw it, and so they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.
6 Fear (B)took hold of them there,
And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,
1 Kings 9:8-9
New King James Version
8 And as for (A)this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, (B)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the Lord has brought all this (C)calamity on them.’ ”

Deuteronomy 29:24-28
New King James Version
24 All nations would say, (A)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (B)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (C)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
