The [population of the] earth was corrupt [absolutely depraved -- spiritually and morally putrid] in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence [desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power].

Children of Zion are born

"Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; Before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day Or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor Than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?" says the LORD. "Do I close up the womb when I bring delivery?" says your God.

The LORD Almighty is mustering an army for war. 

They come from faraway lands,  From the ends of the heavens --  The LORD and the weapons of his wrath --  To destroy the whole country.”
