God Will Punish His Enemies

34 All you nations, come near and listen.
    Pay attention, you peoples!
The earth and all the people in it should listen,
    the world and everything in it.
The Lord is angry with all the nations;
    he is angry with their armies.
    He will destroy them and kill them all.
Their bodies will be thrown outside.
    The stink will rise from the bodies,
    and the blood will flow down the mountains.
