31 A noise will come to the ends of the earth—
For the Lord has (A)a controversy with the nations;
(B)He will plead His case with all flesh.
He will give those who are wicked to the sword,’ says the Lord.”

32 Thus says the Lord of hosts:

“Behold, disaster shall go forth
From nation to nation,
And (C)a great whirlwind shall be raised up
From the farthest parts of the earth.

33 (D)And at that day the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be (E)lamented, (F)or gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground.

31 The tumult(A) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(B) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(C) on all(D) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(E)’”
declares the Lord.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(F) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(G)
a mighty storm(H) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(I)

33 At that time those slain(J) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(K) up or buried,(L) but will be like dung lying on the ground.
