Gentiles/heathen » The lord judging the heathen
For the day of the LORD is hard by upon all Heathen. Like as thou hast done, so shalt thou be dealt withal. Yea, thou shalt be rewarded even upon thine head. For likewise as ye have drunken upon mine holy hill, so shall all Heathen drink continually: yea drink shall they, and swallow up, so that ye shall be as though ye had never been.
She shall no more be a pricking thorn, and a hurting brier unto the house of Israel, nor unto them that lie round about her and hate her: and they shall know that I am the LORD. Thus sayeth the LORD God: When I gather the household of Israel together again from the nations among whom they be scattered: then shall I be sanctified in them in the sight of the Gentiles, and they shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob. They shall dwell safely therein, build houses, and plant vineyards. Yea, safely shall they dwell therein, when I have punished all those that despise them round about: and then shall they know that I am the LORD their God.
The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up his head.
Thou son of man, prophesy upon the mountains of Israel, and speak, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O ye mountains of Israel: Thus sayeth the LORD God: Because your enemy hath said upon you, 'Aha, the high everlasting places are now become ours': prophesy therefore, and speak: thus sayeth the LORD God: Seeing ye be wasted and trod down on every side, and become a possession unto the residue of the Gentiles, which have brought you into men's mouths and unto an evil name among the people: read more.
Therefore, hear the word of the LORD God, O ye mountains of Israel. Thus sayeth the LORD God unto the mountains, and hills; valleys and dales; to the void wilderness and desolate cities, which are spoiled and had in derision on every side among the residue of the Heathen. Yea, even thus sayeth the LORD God: In the fire of my jealousy have I taken a device against the residue of the Gentiles, and against all Edom: which have taken in my land unto themselves for a possession: which also rejoiced from their whole heart with a despiteful stomach, to waste it, and to spoil it. Prophesy therefore upon the land of Israel, speak unto the mountains and hills, to valleys and dales; thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, this have I devised in my jealousy and terrible wrath. Forsomuch as ye have suffered reproof of the Heathen, therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: I have sworn, that the Gentiles which lie about you shall bear your confusion themselves.

Cry out these things among the Gentiles, proclaim war; wake up the giants, let them draw nigh; let them come up, all the lusty warriors of them. Make you swords of your plowshares, and spears of your sickles and scythes. Let the weak man say, "I am strong." Muster you, and come, all ye Heathen round about. Gather you together, there shall the LORD lay all thy giants to the ground. read more.
Let the people arise, and get them to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit, and judge all Heathen round about. Lay to your scythes, for the harvest is ripe. Come, get you down: the winepress is full, yea the winepresses run over, for their wickedness is waxen great. In the valley appointed, there shall be many, many people: for the day of the LORD is nigh in the valley appointed. The sun and moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light. The LORD shall roar out of Zion, a cry out of Jerusalem; that the heavens and the earth shall quake withal. But the LORD shall be a defense to his own people, and a refuge for the children of Israel.
