God’s Wrath against Nations

34 Draw near, (A)O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
(B)Let the earth and [a]all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
For the Lord’s (C)indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has [b](D)utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to (E)slaughter.
So their slain will be (F)thrown out,
And their corpses [c]will give off their (G)stench,
And the mountains will [d]be drenched with their (H)blood.
