God’s Wrath against Nations

1
Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
Let the earth and all that is in it hear, and the world and all that comes forth from it.
2

For the Lord is angry at all the nations,
And His wrath is against all their armies;
He has (a)utterly doomed them,
He has given them over to slaughter.
3

So their slain will be thrown out,
And the stench of their corpses will rise,
And the mountains will flow with their blood.
4

All the host of heaven will be dissolved,
And the skies will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts [the stars and the planets] will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
And as a fig withers from the fig tree.(A)
