1. All you nations, come near and listen.Pay attention, you peoples!The earth and all the people in it should listen.The world and everything in it should listen.
2. The Lord is angry with all the nations.He is angry with their armies.He will destroy them and kill them all.
3. Their bodies will be thrown outside.The stink will rise from the bodies,and the blood will flow down the mountains.
4. The sun, moon and stars will dissolve.The sky will be rolled up like a scroll.The stars will falllike dead leaves from a vineor dried-up figs from a fig tree.
5. The Lord’s sword in the sky is covered with blood.It will cut through Edom.He will destroy these people as an offering to the Lord.
6. The Lord’s sword will be covered with blood.It will be covered with fat.It is the blood from lambs and goats.It is the fat from the kidneys of male sheep.This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrah.He has decided there will be much killing in Edom.
