Isaiah 34:1-3

New International Reader's Version

34 Nations, come near and listen to me!
    Pay attention to what I’m about to say.
Let the earth and everything in it listen.
    Let the world and everything that comes out of it pay attention.
² The Lord is angry with all the nations.
    His anger is against all their armies.
He will totally destroy them.
    He will have them killed.
³ Those who are killed won’t be buried.
    Their dead bodies will be thrown on the ground.
They will stink.
    Their blood will cover the mountains.
