Sit on the ground without a throne,
O daughter of the Chaldeans!
For you shall no more be called
Tender and [a]delicate.

30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them:

‘The Lord will (A)roar from on high,
And utter His voice from (B)His holy habitation;
He will roar mightily against (C)His fold.
He will give (D)a shout, as those who tread the grapes,
Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth—
For the Lord has (E)a controversy with the nations;
(F)He will plead His case with all flesh.
He will give those who are wicked to the sword,’ says the Lord.”

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
