1. Come close, you nations, and listen.Pay attention, you people.The earth, everyone in it,the world, and everything on it will listen.
2. The Lord is angry with all the nations.He is furious with all their armies.He has claimed them for destruction.He has handed them over to be slaughtered.
3. Their dead bodies will be thrown out.A stench will rise from their corpses.Mountains will be red with their blood.
4. All the stars in the sky will rot.The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll.The stars will falllike leaves from a grapevine,like green figs from a fig tree.
5. When my sword is covered ⌊with blood⌋ in the heavens,it will fall on Edomand on the people I’ve claimed for destruction.
6. The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.It is covered with fat,with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of rams’ kidneys.The Lord will receive a sacrifice in Bozrah,a huge slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. Wild oxen will be killed with them,young bulls along with rams.Their land will be drenched with blood.Their dust will be covered with fat.
8. The Lord will have a day of vengeance,a year of revenge in defense of Zion.
9. Edom’s streams will be turned to tar.Its soil will be turned to burning sulfur.Its land will become blazing tar.
10. They will not be extinguished day or night,and smoke will always go up from them.Edom will lie in ruins for generations.No one will ever travel through it.
