You will not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.(B)

Judgment on the Whole World

30 “As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

He calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,
against all the inhabitants of the earth.

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

“‘The Lord will roar(H) from on high;
    he will thunder(I) from his holy dwelling(J)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(K) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
