17 The Lord says, “These are the people who wash themselves and make themselves pure so that they can go into their special gardens[a] to worship their idols. They follow each other into the gardens to eat meat from pigs, rats, and other dirty things. But they will all be destroyed together.

18 “They have evil thoughts and do evil things, so I am coming to punish them. I will gather all nations and all people. Everyone will be gathered together to see my Glory.[b] 19 I will put a mark on some of the people. I will send some of these saved people to the nations of Tarshish, Libya,[c] Lud[d] (the land of archers), Tubal,[e] Greece, and all the faraway lands. Those people have never heard my teachings. They have never seen my Glory. So the saved people will tell the nations about my glory.
