29 I have already begun to punish Jerusalem, the city that is my special home. So do not think that I will leave you other nations alone! I will certainly punish you too. I will send war against everyone who lives on the earth. That is what the Lord Almighty says will happen!”

30 Now Jeremiah, prophesy this message against them:

“The Lord will shout from his high place above.
    He will roar like a lion that is ready to attack his land.
    He will make a noise like thunder from his holy home.
He will shout aloud like people who are stamping on grapes
    to make wine.
He will shout against everyone who lives on the earth.
31     People everywhere will hear his message.
The Lord will accuse the nations of their sins,
    and he will judge all the people on the earth.
He will send war to kill all the wicked people.”

That is what the Lord says.

29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster(A) on the city that bears my Name,(B) and will you indeed go unpunished?(C) You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword(D) on all(E) who live on the earth,(F) declares the Lord Almighty.’

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

“‘The Lord will roar(G) from on high;
    he will thunder(H) from his holy dwelling(I)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread(J) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The tumult(K) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges(L) against the nations;
he will bring judgment(M) on all(N) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,(O)’”
declares the Lord.
