1. All you nations, come near and listen! Listen, all you people. The earth and everyone on it should listen to these things. Everything in this world should hear this.
2. The Lord is angry with all the nations and their armies. He will destroy them all and put them to death.
3. Their bodies will be thrown outside. The stink will rise from the bodies, and the blood will flow down the mountains.
4. The skies will be rolled shut like a scroll, and the stars will die and fall like leaves from a vine or a fig tree. All the stars in the sky will rot away.
5. The Lord says, “This will happen when my sword in the sky is covered with blood.” Look, the Lord’S sword will cut through Edom. He judged them guilty, and they must die.
6. The Lord decided there should be a time for killing in Bozrah and in Edom. So the sword of the Lord is covered with blood and fat. The blood is from the “goats.” The fat is from the kidneys of the “rams.”
7. So the rams, the cattle, and the strong bulls will be killed. The land will be filled with their blood. The dirt will be covered with their fat.
