Isaiah 34:3

"For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter."

Key Reflection

This verse portrays God's judgment on nations that oppose His people, emphasizing His ultimate power to destroy those who resist Him. It highlights the contrast between God’s enduring wrath and the temporary nature of worldly conquests, underscoring His sovereignty over all nations.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Their slain also shall be cast out -They would lie unburied. The slaughter Would be so extensive, and the desolation would be so entire, that there would not remain enough to bury the dead (compare the notes atIsaiah 14:19). And the mountains shall be melted with their blood -The expression here is evidently hyperbolical, and means that as mountains and hills are wasted away by descending showers and impetuous torrents, so the hills would be washed away by the vast quantity of blood that would be shed by the anger of Yahweh.
