1. Draw near, you nations, to hear;and listen, you peoples.Hear, earth and all who fill it,world and all its offspring.
2. The Lord rages against all the nations,and is angry with all their armies.God is about to wipe them outand has prepared them for slaughter.
3. Their dead will be cast out,the stench of their corpses will rise,and the mountains will melt from their blood.
4. All the stars of heaven will dissolve,the skies will roll up like a scroll,and all the stars will fall,like a leaf withering from a vine,like fruit from a fig tree.
5. When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,it will descend upon Edom for judgment,upon a people I have doomed for destruction.
6. The Lord has a sword covered with blood;it is soaked with fatfrom the blood of lambs and goats,from the kidney fat of rams,for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
