|
\v 1 You people of all nations, come near and listen;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 pay careful attention.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 I want the world and everything that is in it to hear what I say.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Yahweh is angry with the people of all nations;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he is furious with all their armies.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 He has decided that they must be destroyed,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and he will slaughter them.

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 Their corpses will not be buried,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and as a result their bodies will stink,
|
2016-08-22 20:13:18 +00:00
|
|
|
\q2 and the mountains will collapse because of their blood.

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 The sky will disappear like a scroll that is rolled up and thrown away.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 Stars will fall from the sky
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 like withered leaves fall from grapevines,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 or like shriveled figs fall from fig trees.

\v 5 When Yahweh has finished his work of destroying objects in the sky,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he will punish the people of Edom,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 the people group that he has said must be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 It is as though Yahweh will have a sword that is covered with blood and fat—
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 the blood of lambs and goats
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and the fat of the kidneys of rams to be sacrificed.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 It is as though Yahweh will offer a sacrifice in Bozrah
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and kill many people in other cities in Edom.

\v 7 Even wild oxen will be killed,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 as well as young calves and big bulls.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 The ground will be soaked with blood,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and the dirt will be covered with the fat of those animals.

\v 8 That will be the time when Yahweh gets revenge
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 for what those people did to the people of Judah.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 The streams in Edom will be full of burning pitch,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and the ground will be covered with burning sulfur and burning pitch.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 Yahweh will never finish punishing Edom with fire;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 the smoke will rise forever.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 No one will ever live in that land,
|
|
|
|

\q2 and no one will even travel through it.

\v 11 Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 Yahweh will measure that land carefully;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 he will measure it to to decide where to cause chaos and destruction.
|

\q1
|

\v 12 There will be no more princes;
|

\v 13 The deserted palaces and fortified buildings will be full of thorns and thistles.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 The ruins will be places for jackals and ostriches to live.

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 Animals that live in the desert and hyenas will be there,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and wild goats will bleat to each other.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 There will also be creatures that roam around at night and rest there.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 Owls will make their nests there and lay their eggs in the nests;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and when the eggs hatch, the mother birds will cover them with their wings.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 There will also be hawks there,
|

\q2 each with its mate.

\v 16 If you read what is written in the book that contains messages from Yahweh, you will find out what he will do to Edom.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 All of those animals and birds will be there,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and each one will have a mate,
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 because that is what Yahweh has promised,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and his spirit will cause them all to gather there.

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 He has decided what parts of the land of Edom each will live in,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and those are the places where each bird or animal will live.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 Their descendants will possess those areas forever,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 throughout all generations.
