¹ You nations, come here and listen;² The Lord is angry with all the nations,
furious with all their armies.^(C1)
He will set them apart for destruction,^(C2)
giving them over to slaughter.³ Their slain will be thrown out,
and the stench of their corpses will rise;^(C1)
the mountains will flow^(F1) with their blood.^(C2)4 All^(F1) the stars in the sky^(C1) will dissolve.
The sky will roll up like a scroll,^(C2)
and its stars will all wither
as leaves wither on the vine,
and foliage on the fig tree.^(C3)

⁵ When my sword has drunk its fill^(F1)(C1) in the heavens,
it will then come down on Edom^(C2)
and on the people I have set apart for destruction.⁶ The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.
It drips with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.^(C1)
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,^(C2)
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.⁷ The wild oxen will be struck^(F1) down with them,
and young bulls with the mighty bulls.
Their land will be soaked with^(F2) blood,
and their soil will be saturated with fat.⁸ For the Lord has a day of vengeance,^(C1)
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.⁹ Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her soil into sulfur;^(C1)
her land will become burning pitch.¹⁰ It will never go out—day or night.
Its smoke will go up forever.^(C1)
It will be desolate, from generation to generation;
no one will pass through it forever and ever.^(C2)11 Eagle owls^(F1) and herons^(F2) will possess it,
and long-eared owls and ravens will dwell there.^(C1)
The Lord will stretch out a measuring line
and a plumb line over her
for her destruction and chaos.^(C2)12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,
and all her princes will come to nothing.¹³ Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.^(C1)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode^(F1) for ostriches.^(C2)14 The desert creatures will meet hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the night birds will stay there
and will find a resting place.¹⁵ Sand partridges^(F1) will make their nests there;
they will lay and hatch their eggs
and will gather their broods under their shadows.
Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there,
each with its mate.^(C1)16 Search and read the scroll of the Lord:^(C1)
Not one of them will be missing,
none will be lacking its mate,
because he has ordered it by my^(F1) mouth,
and he will gather them by his Spirit.¹⁷ He has cast the lot for them;
his hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.
They will possess it forever;^(C1)
they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
