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.
7 Wild oxen will fall with them,steers with mighty bulls,and their land will be drenched with blood;its soil soaked with fat.
