30-31 “Preach it all, Jeremiah. Preach the entire Message to them. Say:

“‘God roars like a lion from high heaven;
    thunder rolls out from his holy dwelling—
Ear-splitting bellows against his people,
    shouting hurrahs like workers in harvest.
The noise reverberates all over the earth;
    everyone everywhere hears it.
God makes his case against the godless nations.
    He’s about to put the human race on trial.
For the wicked the verdict is clear-cut:
    death by the sword.’” God’s Decree.

A huge storm is about to rage
    all across planet Earth.”

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

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

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(J) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(K)
a mighty storm(L) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(M)
