29 I am already making these bad things happen to Jerusalem, the city that is called by my name. Maybe you people think that you will not be punished, but you are wrong. You will be punished! I am giving the command for war to come against all the people of the earth.’” This message is from the Lord.

30 “Jeremiah, you will give them this message:

‘The Lord shouts from above.
    He shouts from his holy Temple.
He shouts against his people.
    His shouts are loud like the songs of people walking on grapes to make wine.
31 The noise spreads to all the people on earth.
    What is all the noise about?
The Lord tells why he is punishing all the nations.
    He has given his arguments against them.
He has judged them,
    and now he is killing the wicked with his sword.’”
This message is from the Lord.

29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(A) on the city that bears my Name,(B) and will you indeed go unpunished?(C) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(D) on all(E) who live on the earth,(F) declares the Lord Almighty.’

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

“‘The Lord will roar(G) from on high;
    he will thunder(H) from his holy dwelling(I)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(J) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(K) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(L) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(M) on all(N) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(O)’”
declares the Lord.
