God’s Wrath against Nations

1Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!

Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

2For the Lord’s anger is against all the nations,

And His wrath against all their armies.

He has utterly destroyed them,

He has turned them over to slaughter.

3So their slain will be thrown out,

And their corpses will give off their stench,

And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.

4And all the heavenly lights will wear away,

And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;

All its lights will also wither away

As a leaf withers from the vine,

Or as one withers from the fig tree.

5For My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;

Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom,

And upon the people whom I have designated for destruction.

6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,

It drips 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,

And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7Wild oxen will also fall with them

And young bulls with strong ones;

So their land will be soaked with blood,

And their dust become greasy with fat.

8For the Lord has a day of vengeance,

A year of retribution for the cause of Zion.
