The Judgment of the Nations
1 You nations, come here and listen;
you peoples, pay attention! 34:1 Ps 49:1; Is 1:2; 41:1; 43:9; 45:20
Let the earth and all that fills it hear,
the world and all that comes from it. 34:1 Ps 24:1; Is 6:3; 42:5
2 The Lord is angry with all the nations,
furious with all their armies. 34:2 Is 13:5; Jr 10:10; 50:13
He will set them apart for destruction, 34:2 Jos 6:21; 1Sm 15:3; Is 11:5; 24:1,6; 43:28
giving them over to slaughter.
3 Their slain will be thrown out,
and the stench of their corpses will rise; 34:3 Is 14:21; 18:6; Ezk 39:17; Jl 2:10; Am 4:10; Rv 19:17–19
the mountains will flow 34:3 Or melt, or dissolve with their blood. 34:3 Ps 46:2–3
4 All 34:4 DSS read And the valleys will be split, and all the stars in the sky 34:4 2Kg 17:16; 21:3,5; 23:4–5 will dissolve.
The sky will roll up like a scroll, 34:4 Rv 6:12–14
and its stars will all wither
as leaves wither on the vine,
and foliage on the fig tree. 34:4 Ps 102:25–27; Is 13:10; 51:6; Ezk 32:7–8; Jl 3:15; Mt 24:29; Mk 13:24–25; 2Pt 3:10,12
