Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth, for the LORD has spoken: "I have raised children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against Me.

[For the choir director. A psalm of the sons of Korah.] Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who inhabit the world,

both low and high, rich and poor together.

[A psalm of Asaph.] God, the LORD God speaks; He summons the earth from east to west.

Earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD!

Listen to the LORD's lawsuit, you mountains and enduring foundations of the earth, because the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel.

He raises a signal flag for the distant nations and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look-- how quickly and swiftly they come!

On that day the LORD will whistle to the fly that is at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

Lift up a banner on a barren mountain. Call out to them. Wave your hand, and they will go through the gates of the nobles.

Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a mighty people! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations being gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.

LORD, Your hand is lifted up [to take action], but they do not see it. They will see [Your] zeal for [Your] people, and they will be put to shame. The fire for Your adversaries will consume them!

If a ram's horn is blown in a city, aren't people afraid? If a disaster occurs in a city, hasn't the LORD done it?

A lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who will not prophesy?

The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is wise to fear Your name): "Pay attention to the rod and the One who ordained it.

Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will fly like lightning. The Lord God will sound the trumpet and advance with the southern storms.

Anyone who has ears should listen!"

"But your eyes are blessed because they do see, and your ears because they do hear!
