30 “You [C Jeremiah] will prophesy against them with all these words. Say to them:

‘The Lord will roar [C like a lion] from heaven [Amos 1:2]
    and will ·shout [L give forth] from his holy lair [C the Temple].
    He will roar loudly against his ·land [L sheepfold].
He will shout like people who walk on grapes [Is. 63:2–6; Rev. 19:15];
    he will shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The ·noise [clamor] will spread all over the earth,
    because the Lord will accuse all the nations.
He will ·judge and tell what is wrong with [bring an indictment against] all ·people [L flesh],
    and he will kill the evil people with a sword,’” says the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:

“Disasters will soon ·spread [L go out]
    from nation to nation.
They will come like a powerful storm
    from the faraway places on earth.”
