34Come here and listen, O nations of the earth. Let the world and everything in it hear my words.H7126H1471H8085H7181H3816H776H8085H4393H8398H66312For the Lord is enraged against the nations. His fury is against all their armies. He will completely destroy them, dooming them to slaughter.H7110H3068H1471H2534H6635H2763H5414H28743Their dead will be left unburied, and the stench of rotting bodies will fill the land. The mountains will flow with their blood.H2491H7993H889H5927H6297H2022H4549H18184The heavens above will melt away and disappear like a rolled-up scroll. The stars will fall from the sky like withered leaves from a grapevine, or shriveled figs from a fig tree.H6635H8064H4743H8064H1556H5612H6635H5034H5929H5034H1612H5034H83845And when my sword has finished its work in the heavens, it will fall upon Edom, the nation I have marked for destruction.H2719H7301H8064H3381H123H5971H2764H49416The sword of the Lord is drenched with blood and covered with fat—with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice. Yes, the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah. He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.H2719H3068H4390H1818H1878H2459H1818H3733H6260H2459H3629H352H3068H2077H1224H1419H2874H776H1237Even men as strong as wild oxen will die—the young men alongside the veterans. The land will be soaked with blood and the soil enriched with fat.H7214H3381H6499H47H776H7301H1818H6083H1878H24598For it is the day of the Lord’s revenge, the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.H3117H3068H5359H8141H7966H7379H67269The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch, and the ground will be covered with fire.H5158H2015H2203H6083H1614H776H1197H220310This judgment on Edom will never end; the smoke of its burning will rise forever. The land will lie deserted from generation to generation. No one will live there anymore.H3518H3915H3119H6227H5927H5769H1755H1755H2717H5674H5331H533111It will be haunted by the desert owl and the screech owl, the great owl and the raven. For God will measure that land carefully; he will measure it for chaos and destruction.H6893H7090H3423H3244H6158H7931H5186H6957H8414H68H92212It will be called the Land of Nothing, and all its nobles will soon be gone.H7121H2715H4410H8269H65713Thorns will overrun its palaces; nettles and thistles will grow in its forts. The ruins will become a haunt for jackals and a home for owls.H5518H5927H759H7057H2336H4013H5116H8577H2681H1323H328414Desert animals will mingle there with hyenas, their howls filling the night. Wild goats will bleat at one another among the ruins, and night creatures will come there to rest.H6728H6298H338H8163H7121H7453H3917H7280H4672H449415There the owl will make her nest and lay her eggs. She will hatch her young and cover them with her wings. And the buzzards will come, each one with its mate.H7091H7077H4422H1234H1716H6738H1772H6908H802H746816Search the book of the Lord, and see what he will do. Not one of these birds and animals will be missing, and none will lack a mate, for the Lord has promised this. His Spirit will make it all come true.H1875H5612H3068H7121H259H2007H5737H802H6485H7468H6310H6680H7307H690817He has surveyed and divided the land and deeded it over to those creatures. They will possess it forever, from generation to generation.H5307H1486H3027H2505H6957H3423H5704H5769H1755H1755H7931
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
