Judgment on the Nations
1 Draw near, Ps. 49:1;[Joel 3:1,2]O nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has [Josh. 6:21]devoted them to destruction,34:2 That is, set apart (devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verse 5 has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and Joel 2:20the stench of their corpses shall rise;
[Ezek. 39:4]the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 Joel 2:31;3:15;Matt. 24:29;Acts 2:20;Rev. 6:13,14;[Ps. 102:26;Heb. 1:11]All the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
