29. For I am starting to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished. For I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.
30. Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: The Lord 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 the grapes,against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31. A noise shall come even to the remote parts of the earth,for the Lord has a controversy with the nations;He shall enter into judgment with all flesh.He shall give those who are wicked to the sword,says the Lord.
32. Thus says the Lord of Hosts: See, disaster shall go forthfrom nation to nation,and a great whirlwind shall be raised upfrom the remote parts of the earth.
33. The slain of the Lord on that day will be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They will not be lamented or gathered or buried. They will be as dung on the ground.
34. Howl, you shepherds, and cry;and wallow in the ashes, you leaders of the flock.For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished;and you will fall like a choice vessel.
