A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
The Lord hath a controversy - a cause at issue (Micah 6:2) "with all nations."
Plead with all flesh - (Isaiah 66:16). God shows the whole world that He does what is altogether just in punishing.
