34COME NEAR, you nations, to hear; and hearken, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that come forth from it.H7126H1471H8085H7181H3816H776H8085H4393H8398H66312For the Lord is indignant against all nations, and His wrath is against all their host. He has utterly doomed them, He has given them over to slaughter.H7110H3068H1471H2534H6635H2763H5414H28743Their slain also shall be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies shall rise, and the mountains shall flow with their blood.H2491H7993H889H5927H6297H2022H4549H18184All the host of the heavens shall be dissolved {and} crumble away, and the skies shall be rolled together like a scroll; and all their host [the stars and the planets] shall drop like a faded leaf from the vine, and like a withered fig from the fig tree.H6635H8064H4743H8064H1556H5612H6635H5034H5929H5034H1612H5034H83845Because My sword has been bathed {and} equipped in heaven, behold, it shall come down upon Edom [the descendants of Esau], upon the people whom I have doomed for judgment.H2719H7301H8064H3381H123H5971H2764H49416The sword of the Lord is filled with blood [of sacrifices], it is gorged {and} greased with fatness--with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah [capital of Edom] and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.H2719H3068H4390H1818H1878H2459H1818H3733H6260H2459H3629H352H3068H2077H1224H1419H2874H776H1237And the wild oxen shall fall with them, and the [young] bullocks with the [old and mighty] bulls; and their land shall be drunk {and} soaked with blood, and their dust made rich with fatness.H7214H3381H6499H47H776H7301H1818H6083H1878H24598For the Lord has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense, for the cause of Zion.H3117H3068H5359H8141H7966H7379H67269And the streams [of Edom] will be turned into pitch and its dust into brimstone, and its land will become burning pitch.H5158H2015H2203H6083H1614H776H1197H220310[The burning of Edom] shall not be quenched night or day; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.H3518H3915H3119H6227H5927H5769H1755H1755H2717H5674H5331H533111But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it; the owl {and} the bittern and the raven will dwell in it. And He will stretch over it [Edom] the measuring line of confusion and the plummet stones of chaos [over its nobles].H6893H7090H3423H3244H6158H7931H5186H6957H8414H68H92212They shall call its nobles to proclaim the kingdom, but nothing shall be there, and all its princes shall be no more.H7121H2715H4410H8269H65713And thorns shall come up in its palaces {and} strongholds, nettles and brambles in its fortresses; and it shall be a habitation for jackals, an abode for ostriches.H5518H5927H759H7057H2336H4013H5116H8577H2681H1323H328414And the wild beasts of the desert will meet here with howling creatures [wolves and hyenas] and the [shaggy] wild goat will call to his fellow; the night monster will settle there and find a place of rest.H6728H6298H338H8163H7121H7453H3917H7280H4672H449415There shall the arrow snake make her nest and lay her eggs and hatch them and gather her young under her shade; there shall the kites be gathered [also to breed] every one with its mate.H7091H7077H4422H1234H1716H6738H1772H6908H802H746816Seek out of the book of the Lord and read: not one of these [details of prophecy] shall fail, none shall want {and} lack her mate [in fulfillment]. For the mouth [of the Lord] has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.H1875H5612H3068H7121H259H2007H5737H802H6485H7468H6310H6680H7307H690817And He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has portioned [Edom] to [the wild beasts] by measuring line. They shall possess it forever; from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.H5307H1486H3027H2505H6957H3423H5704H5769H1755H1755H7931
