'Nations' in the Bible

Listen, all you nations! Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth! The sovereign Lord will testify against you; the Lord will accuse you from his majestic palace.

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Though all the nations follow their respective gods, we will follow the Lord our God forever.

Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

"Get up and thresh, Daughter Zion! For I will give you iron horns; I will give you bronze hooves, and you will crush many nations." You will devote to the Lord the spoils you take from them, and dedicate their wealth to the sovereign Ruler of the whole earth.

The survivors of Jacob will live among many nations, as dew from the LORD, as showers upon the grass. They will look to no one, and will place no hope in human beings.

Then the remnant of Jacobwill be among the nations, among many peoples,like a lion among animals of the forest,like a young lion among flocks of sheep,which tramples and tears as it passes through,and there is no one to rescue them.

I will take vengeance in anger and wrathagainst the nations that have not obeyed Me.

You implement the regulations of Omri, and all the practices of Ahab's dynasty; you follow their policies. Therefore I will make you an appalling sight, the city's inhabitants will be taunted derisively, and nations will mock all of you."

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
