King James Version
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.
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.
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.
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.
Their slain will
be left
unburied
, and the
stench
of their corpses
will
rise;
the mountains will
flow
with their blood.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
For
my sword shall
be
bathed
in heaven:
behold
, it shall
come down upon Idumea
, and
upon the people of
my
curse,
to judgment
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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
.
For the LORD
has
a
day of vengeance, a
year of recompense
for the cause
of Zion.
For it
is
the day of the
LORD's
vengeance, and
the
year of recompences
for the controversy
of Zion.
Edom’s
streams will
be turned to
tar
, and her
soil
to
sulfur;
her
land will
become a
blazing
pitch.
And
the
streams thereof
shall
be turned into
pitch
, and the
dust
thereof
into
brimstone,
and
the
land thereof
shall
become burning
pitch.
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.
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
.
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
.
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
.
No
nobles will
be
left
to proclaim
a
king
, and all her princes will
come
to
nothing.
They
shall
call
the
nobles thereof
to the
kingdom
, but
none
shall
be
there,
and all her princes shall
be
nothing.
Her
towers
will
be
overgrown
with
thorns ,
her fortresses with
thistles
and briers.
She
will
become
a
haunt
for
jackals,
an abode
for ostriches
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
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.
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
.
