31. A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 32. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

Theological / Devotional

A controversy. Heb. rib, “strife,” or “a case at law.” The picture is that of God sitting in judgment upon the wicked nations.

To the sword. The symbol of destruction by war. In the final conflict of nations the wicked will perish by various means (see GC 657).
