1. Come, people of all nations! Gather round and listen. Let the whole earth and everyone living on it come here and listen.
2. The Lord is angry with all the nations and all their armies. He has condemned them to destruction.
3. Their corpses will not be buried, but will lie there rotting and stinking; and the mountains will be red with blood.
4. The sun, moon, and stars will crumble to dust. The sky will disappear like a scroll being rolled up, and the stars will fall like leaves dropping from a vine or a fig tree.
5. The Lord has prepared his sword in heaven, and now it will strike Edom, those people whom he has condemned to destruction.
6. His sword will be covered with their blood and fat, like the blood and fat of lambs and goats that are sacrificed. The Lord will offer this sacrifice in the city of Bozrah; he will make this a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. The people will fall like wild oxen and young bulls, and the earth will be red with blood and covered with fat.
8. This is the time when the Lord will rescue Zion and take vengeance on her enemies.
