29 Look! I am already bringing disaster on Jerusalem, the city that is called by my name. Do you think you will not be punished? You will be punished! I am sending war on all the people of the earth, says the Lord All-Powerful.’

30 “You, Jeremiah, will prophesy against them with all these words. Say to them:

‘The Lord will roar from heaven
    and will shout from his Holy Temple.
    He will roar loudly against his land.
He will shout like people who walk on grapes to make wine;
    he will shout against all who live on the earth.
31 The noise will spread all over the earth,
    because the Lord will accuse all the nations.
He will judge and tell what is wrong with all people,
    and he will kill the evil people with a sword,’” says the Lord.

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.
