1Come near, O nations, to listen; pay attention, O peoples. Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that springs from it.
2The LORD is angry with all the nations and furious with all their armies. He will devote them to destruction; He will give them over to slaughter.
3Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
4All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
5When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips 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.
7And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
