| 34:1 |
Draw near, O nations, to hear; O peoples, give heed! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it; the world, and all that comes from it.
|
| 34:2 |
For the LORD is enraged against all the nations, and furious against all their hoards; he has doomed them, has given them over for slaughter.
|
| 34:3 |
Their slain shall be cast out, and the stench of their corpses shall rise; the mountains shall flow with their blood.
|
| 34:4 |
All the host of heaven shall rot away, and the skies roll up like a scroll. All their host shall wither like a leaf withering on a vine, or fruit withering on a fig tree.
|
| 34:5 |
When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, lo, it will descend upon Edom, upon the people I have doomed to judgment.
|
| 34:6 |
The LORD has a sword; it is sated with blood, it is gorged 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.
|
| 34:7 |
Wild oxen shall fall with them, and young steers with the mighty bulls. Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their soil made rich with fat.
|
| 34:8 |
For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of vindication by Zion's cause.
|
| 34:9 |
And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into sulfur; her land shall become burning pitch.
|
| 34:10 |
Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and ever.
|
| 34:11 |
But the hawk and the hedgehog shall possess it; the owl and the raven shall live in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plummet of chaos over its nobles.
|
| 34:12 |
They shall name it No Kingdom There, and all its princes shall be nothing.
|
| 34:13 |
Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.
|
| 34:14 |
Wildcats shall meet with hyenas, goat-demons shall call to each other; there too Lilith shall repose, and find a place to rest.
|
| 34:15 |
There shall the owl nest and lay and hatch and brood in its shadow; there too the buzzards shall gather, each one with its mate.
|
| 34:16 |
Seek and read from the book of the LORD: Not one of these shall be missing; none shall be without its mate. For the mouth of the LORD has commanded, and his spirit has gathered them.
|
| 34:17 |
He has cast the lot for them, his hand has portioned it out to them with the line; they shall possess it forever, from generation to generation they shall live in it.
