Isaiah 34:1-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Judgment of the Nations
34 You nations, come here and listen;
you peoples, pay attention!(A)
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it,
the world and all that comes from it.(B)
2 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.
3 Their slain will be thrown out,
and the stench of their corpses will rise;(E)
the mountains will flow[a] with their blood.(F)
4 All[b] the heavenly bodies(G) will dissolve.
The skies will roll up like a scroll,(H)
and their stars will all wither
as leaves wither on the vine,
and foliage on the fig tree.(I)

International Standard Version
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.
2 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]
3 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.
4 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.
