1 Come near, you nations, and listen!Pay attention, you people!The earth and everything it contains must listen,the world and everything that lives in it.
2 For the Lord is angry at all the nationsand furious with all their armies.He will annihilate them and slaughter them.
3 Their slain will be left unburied,their corpses will stink; the hills will soak up their blood.
4 All the stars in the sky will fade away,the sky will roll up like a scroll;all its stars will wither,like a leaf withers and falls from a vineor a fig withers and falls from a tree.
5 He says, “Indeed, my sword has slaughtered heavenly powers.Look, it now descends on Edom,on the people I will annihilate in judgment.”
6 The Lord’s sword is dripping with blood,it is covered with fat;it drips with the blood of young rams and goatsand is covered with the fat of rams’ kidneys.For the Lord is holding a sacrifice in Bozrah,a bloody slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Wild oxen will be slaughtered along with them,as well as strong bulls.Their land is drenched with blood,their soil is covered with fat.
