Contextual Overview

1 Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend, - Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom: 2 That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host, - He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter; 3 And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend, - And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood. 4 Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll, - Yea, all their host, shall fade - Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree. 5 For my sword hath been sated in the heavens, - Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice. 6 A sword, hath Yahweh - Glutted with blood Sated with fat, - With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams, - For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter in the land of Edom; 7 Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, - So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched. 8 For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh, - A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Their slain also shall be cast out,.... Upon the open fields, and there lie unburied, and become meat for the fowls of heaven, who are invited to them as to a supper, even the supper of the great God, Revelation 19:17:

and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses; so that they shall become loathsome and abominable to the living, and none shall care to come near thereto bury them; an emblem of their loathsome and abominable sins, the cause of this destruction:

and the mountains shall be melted with their blood; an hyperbolical expression, denoting the great number of the slain upon the mountains, and the great quantity of blood shed there; which should run down in large streams, and carry part of them along with it, as large and hasty showers of rain wash away the earth, and carry it along with them; such an hyperbole see in Revelation 14:20.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Their slain also shall be cast out - They would lie unburied. The slaughter Would be so extensive, and the desolation would be so entire, that there would not remain enough to bury the dead (compare the notes at Isaiah 14:19).

And the mountains shall be melted with their blood - The expression here is evidently hyperbolical, and means that as mountains and hills are wasted away by descending showers and impetuous torrents, so the hills would be washed away by the vast quantity of blood that would be shed by the anger of Yahweh.
