The nations hear

After Isaiah 34-35

The nations hear, and listen;

the nations are called, and gather;

the nations come together to learn

that no one is righteous, not even one.

Judgment is pealed across and among;

judgment is arriving, a sword.

The sky rolls up, the stars all fall.

Judgment, a retribution for what

is done and what is not done,

judgment arrives on the back

of a donkey, sailing through

a sea of palms.
