1. Come near, nations, and listen;be attentive, you peoples!Let the earth and what fills it listen,the world and all it produces.
2. The Lord is angry with all the nations,enraged against all their host;He has placed them under the ban,given them up to slaughter.
3. Their slain shall be cast out,their corpses shall send up a stench;the mountains shall run with their blood,
4. All the host of heaven shall rot;the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll.All their host shall wither away,as the leaf wilts on the vine,or as the fig withers on the tree.
5. When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,it shall come down upon Edom for judgment,upon a people under my ban.
6. The Lord has a sword sated with blood,greasy with fat,With the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of rams’ kidneys;For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. Wild oxen shall be struck down with fatlings,and bullocks with bulls;Their land shall be soaked with blood,and their soil greasy with fat.
8. For the Lord has a day of vengeance,a year of requital for the cause of Zion.
