\q1
|
|
\v 1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people!
|
|
\q1 The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies;
|
|
\q1 he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Their slain will be left unburied; the stench of their dead bodies will be everywhere,
|
|
\q1 and the mountains will be soaked with their blood.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 All the stars of the sky will fade away,
|
|
\q1 and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away,
|
|
\q1 as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs from the fig tree.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven;
|
|
\q1 look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat,
|
|
\q1 dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
|
|
\q1 For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Wild oxen will be slaughtered along with them, and young bulls with the older ones.
|
|
\q1 Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur,
|
|
\q1 and her land will become burning pitch.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever;
|
|
\q1 from generation to generation it will
|
|
be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it.
|
|
\q1 He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Her nobles
|
|
\q1 will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses.
|
|
\q1 It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another.
|
|
\q1 Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young.
|
|
\q1 Yes, there hawks will gather, each one with its mate.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Search through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing.
|
|
\q1 None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 He has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord.
|
|
\q1 They will possess it for ever; from
|
|
generation to generation they will live there.
