Gentiles/heathen » The lord judging the heathen
The Day of Jehovah draws near upon all the nations. It will be done to you just as you have done. Your dealings will return upon you head!

There will be no more prickling brier or a painful thorn for the house of Israel from any round about them who scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah says: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, I will make known my holiness in them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their land that I gave to my servant Jacob. They will live in it securely. They will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am Jehovah their God!'
Jehovah is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his anger. He will pass judgment on the nations and fill them with dead bodies. Throughout the earth he will execute their rulers. He will drink from the brook along the road. He will hold his head high.

Proclaim this among the nations! Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears!

Let the nations be aroused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah's Judgment)! I will sit there to judge all the nations round about. Thrust in the sickle for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! The day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars diminish their shining. Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
