29 I will begin my work of destruction in my own city. Do they think they will go unpunished? No, they will be punished, for I am going to send war on all the people on earth. I, the Lord Almighty, have spoken.

30 “You, Jeremiah, must proclaim everything I have said. You must tell these people,

‘The Lord will roar from heaven
    and thunder from the heights of heaven.
He will roar against his people;
    he will shout like a man treading grapes.
Everyone on earth will hear him,
31     and the sound will echo to the ends of the earth.
The Lord has a case against the nations.
He will bring all people to trial
    and put the wicked to death.
The Lord has spoken.’”

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.
