14:17 But if any of the nations anywhere on earth refuse to go up to Jerusalem 1 to worship the King, the Lord who rules over all, they will get no rain.
14:18 If the Egyptians will not do so, they will get no rain – instead there will be the kind of plague which the Lord inflicts on any nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
14:19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and of all nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
1 sn The reference to any…who refuse to go up to Jerusalem makes clear the fact that the nations are by no means “converted” to the Lord but are under his compulsory domination.
