1 Everyone of every nation,the entire earth,and all its creatures,come here and listen!
2 The Lord is terribly angrywith the nations;he has condemned themto be slaughtered.
3 Their dead bodies will be leftto rot and stink;their blood will flowdown the mountains.
4 Each star will disappear—the sky will roll uplike a scroll.Everything in the skywill dry up and wiltlike leaves on a vineor fruit on a tree.
5 After the sword of the Lordhas done what it wantsto the skies above,it will come down on Edom,the nation that the Lordhas doomed for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lordis covered with bloodfrom lambs and goats,together with fatfrom kidneys of rams.This is because the Lordwill slaughter many peopleand make a sacrifice of themin the city of Bozrahand everywhere elsein Edom.
