KJV
King James Version
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Come near, ye
nations, to hear
; and
hearken
, ye
people:
let the earth hear, and all that is
therein;
the world ,
and all things
that come
forth
of
it.
Come 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.
For
the indignation
of
the
LORD is upon
all nations ,
and his
fury
upon
all their armies :
he hath
utterly
destroyed
them ,
he hath
delivered
them to the
slaughter.
The 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.
Their slain also
shall
be cast
out
, and their
stink
shall
come
up
out
of their carcases,
and
the mountains shall
be
melted
with their blood.
Their slain will
be left
unburied
, and the
stench
of their corpses
will
rise;
the mountains will
flow
with their blood.
And
all the host
of heaven shall
be dissolved ,
and
the heavens
shall
be rolled together
as
a scroll :
and all their host
shall
fall down,
as
the
leaf
falleth
off
from the vine, and
as
a
falling
fig
from the fig tree.
All 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.
For
my sword shall
be
bathed
in heaven:
behold
, it shall
come down upon Idumea
, and
upon the people of
my
curse,
to judgment
.
When
My sword has
drunk
its
fill
in the
heavens
, then
it will
come down upon Edom
, upon the people I
have
devoted
to destruction
.
The sword of the LORD is filled
with
blood ,
it is
made
fat
with fatness,
and
with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams :
for the LORD hath
a sacrifice in Bozrah, and
a great slaughter in the land of Idumea
.
The 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
.
And the unicorns
shall
come
down
with them, and
the bullocks
with the bulls;
and
their land shall
be soaked
with blood, and their dust
made
fat
with fatness
.
And 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
.
For it
is
the day of the
LORD's
vengeance, and
the
year of recompences
for the controversy
of Zion.
For the LORD
has
a
day of vengeance, a
year of recompense
for the cause
of Zion.
And
the
streams thereof
shall
be turned into
pitch,
and
the
dust
thereof
into
brimstone
, and the
land thereof
shall
become burning
pitch.
Edom’s
streams will
be turned to
tar
, and her
soil
to
sulfur;
her
land will
become a
blazing
pitch.
It shall
not be quenched night
nor
day ;
the
smoke thereof
shall
go
up
for
ever:
from generation to generation it shall
lie waste
; none
shall
pass through it for
ever
and
ever
.
It will
not be quenched —
day or
night.
Its
smoke will
ascend
forever.
From generation to generation it will
lie desolate
; no
one
will
ever
again
pass through it.
But
the cormorant
and the
bittern
shall
possess it ;
the owl also
and the
raven shall
dwell in it :
and
he
shall
stretch out upon
it
the
line of confusion,
and the
stones
of emptiness
.
The desert
owl
and screech
owl
will
possess it ,
and
the great
owl and raven will
dwell in it .
The
LORD
will
stretch out over
Edom
a
measuring
line of chaos
and a
plumb
line
of destruction
.
They
shall
call
the
nobles thereof
to
the
kingdom,
but
none
shall
be there
, and all her princes shall
be
nothing.
No
nobles will
be left
to
proclaim
a
king
, and all her princes will
come
to
nothing.
And
thorns
shall
come
up
in
her palaces,
nettles
and
brambles
in
the
fortresses
thereof:
and
it
shall
be an
habitation
of
dragons
, and a court
for owls
.
Her towers
will
be overgrown
with
thorns
, her
fortresses
with
thistles
and briers.
She
will
become
a haunt
for jackals,
an
abode
for
ostriches
.
The wild
beasts
of
the
desert shall
also
meet with the
wild
beasts
of
the
island
, and the
satyr
shall
cry
to his
fellow;
the
screech
owl
also
shall
rest
there ,
and find for
herself
a
place of rest
.
The desert creatures
will
meet with hyenas
, and one
wild
goat
will
call
to another.
There the
night
creature
will
settle
and find her
place of repose
.
There shall
the great
owl make her nest ,
and
lay ,
and hatch ,
and gather under her shadow :
there shall
the vultures
also
be
gathered
, every
one
with her
mate.
There the owl will
make her nest ;
she
will
lay and hatch her
eggs
and gather her
brood
under her shadow .
Even
there the birds
of
prey
will
gather
, each
with its
mate.
Seek
ye
out
of
the book
of the LORD ,
and
read
: no
one of these shall
fail
, none
shall
want
her mate :
for
my
mouth
it hath
commanded
, and his spirit it
hath
gathered
them
.
Search
and
read
the scroll
of the LORD: Not
one of these will
go
missing
, not
one
will
lack
her mate ,
because
He
has
ordered
it by
His
mouth
, and He
will
gather
them
by
His Spirit.
And
he hath
cast
the
lot
for
them,
and
his hand hath
divided
it unto
them
by line:
they shall
possess it for
ever,
from generation to generation shall
they
dwell
therein
.
He has
allotted
their
portion;
His hand has
distributed
it by measure.
They will
possess it forever;
they
will
dwell
in
it
from generation to generation.
