SCRIPTURE

"A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith Jehovah." — Jeremiah 25:31 (ASV)

A noise – The trampling of an army in motion. Compare Amos 2:2.

A controversy – that is, a suit at law.

Will plead – Or, will hold judgment. As judge He delivers the wicked to the sword.
