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.

32 The Lord Almighty also says this:

“Listen to me! Great trouble will come to every single nation.
War will come like a great storm
    from the ends of the earth.”
33 At that time, dead bodies will lie everywhere,
    all over the earth.
Those will be people that the Lord has killed.
    Nobody will weep for them.
Nobody will take their bodies
    to bury them in the ground.
Their dead bodies will lie on the ground like dung.
