In the Bible's book of Isaiah, chapters 13-16, the nations of Babylon, Assyria, and Moab are condemned, while the nation of Israel is encouraged. But among all of the prophet's words here are these:
I will punish the world for its evil,
the wicked for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty
and will humble the pride of the ruthless. (Isaiah 13:11)
Judgment, punishment, and promises for the nations abound, but in this one verse there is a warning and a promise. The entire world stands under God's justice. Let those who are wicked, arrogant, prideful, or ruthless take note: "I will punish. I will put an end to you," says the LORD.
