A noise:
The dreadful devastations made by the Chaldeans through all the nations of the East, and afterwards the destruction of Babylon by the Medes and Persians, are here primarily foretold in this awful language; but it also accords very much with the passages in which the ruin of all the anti- christian powers is evidently predicted. "And seekestª ° thou¹ great thingsª for thyself? seekª ° [them] not:¹ for,¹ behold,¹ I will bringª ° evilª upon¹ all¹ flesh,ª saithª ° the LORD:ª but¹ thy lifeª will I giveª ° unto thee for a preyª in¹ all¹ placesª whither¹ ¹ thou goest.² °¹" {Jer 45:5} + "For¹ [it is] the dayª of the LORD'Sª vengeance,ª [and] the yearª of recompencesª for the controversyª of Zion.ª" {Isa 34:8} + "Hearª ° the wordª of the LORD,ª ye childrenª of Israel:ª for¹ the LORDª hath a controversyª with¹ the inhabitantsª ° of the land,ª because¹ [there is] no¹ truth,ª nor¹ mercy,ª nor¹ knowledgeª of Godª in the land.ª" {Hsa 4:1} + "The LORDª hath also a controversyª with¹ Judah,ª and will punishª °¹ Jacobª according to his ways;ª according to his doingsª will he recompenseª ° him." {Hsa 12:2} + "Hearª ° ye, O mountains,ª ¹ the LORD'Sª controversy,ª and ye strongª foundationsª of the earth:ª for¹ the LORDª hath a controversyª with¹ his people,ª and he will pleadª ° with¹ Israel.ª" {Mic 6:2}

plead:
"For¹ by fireª and by his swordª will the LORDª pleadª ° with¹ all¹ flesh:ª and the slainª of the LORDª shall be many.ª °" {Isa 66:16} + "And I will bringª ° you into¹ the wildernessª of the people,ª and there¹ will I pleadª ° with¹ you faceª to¹ face.ª ... Like as¹ I pleadedª ° with¹ your fathersª in the wildernessª of the landª of Egypt,ª so¹ will I pleadª ° with¹ you, saithª ° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 20:35-36} + "And I will pleadª ° against¹ him with pestilenceª and with blood;ª and I will rainª ° upon¹ him, and upon¹ his bands,ª and upon¹ the manyª peopleª that¹ [are] with¹ him, an overflowingª ° rain,ª and great hailstones,ª ª fire,ª and brimstone.ª" {Ezk 38:22} + "I will also gatherª °¹ all¹ nations,ª and will bring them downª ° into¹ the valleyª of Jehoshaphat,ª and will pleadª ° with¹ them there¹ for¹ my peopleª and [for] my heritageª Israel,ª whom¹ they have scatteredª ° among the nations,ª and partedª ° my land.ª" {Jol 3:2}
