1 Draw near, O nations, to hear,and give attention, O peoples!Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,and furious against all their host;he has devoted them to destruction, has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,and the stench of their corpses shall rise; the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 All the host of heaven shall rot away,and the skies roll up like a scroll.All their host shall fall,as leaves fall from the vine,like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom,upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;it is gorged with fat,with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
