29 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.”’

30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them,

“‘Yahweh will roar from on high,
    and utter his voice from his holy habitation.
    He will mightily roar against his fold.
He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes,
    against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 A noise will come even to the end of the earth;
    for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations.
He will enter into judgment with all flesh.
    As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says Yahweh.”

“‘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.
