Come near,{H7126} ye nations,{H1471} to hear;{H8085} and hearken,{H7181} ye peoples:{H3816} let the earth{H776} hear,{H8085} and the fulness thereof;{H4393} the world,{H8398} and all things that come forth{H6631} from it.

For Jehovah{H3068} hath indignation{H7110} against all the nations,{H1471} and wrath{H2534} against all their host:{H6635} he hath utterly destroyed{H2763} them, he hath delivered{H5414} them to the slaughter.{H2874}

Their slain{H2491} also shall be cast out,{H7993} and the stench{H889} of their dead bodies{H6297} shall come up;{H5927} and the mountains{H2022} shall be melted{H4549} with their blood.{H1818}

And all the host{H6635} of heaven{H8064} shall be dissolved,{H4743} and the heavens{H8064} shall be rolled together{H1556} as a scroll;{H5612} and all their host{H6635} shall fade away,{H5034} as the leaf{H5929} fadeth from off{H5034} the vine,{H1612} and as a fading{H5034} [leaf] from the fig-tree.{H8384}

For my sword{H2719} hath drunk{H7301} its fill in heaven:{H8064} behold, it shall come down{H3381} upon Edom,{H123} and upon the people{H5971} of my curse,{H2764} to judgment.{H4941}

The sword{H2719} of Jehovah{H3068} is filled{H4390} with blood,{H1818} it is made fat{H1878} with fatness,{H2459} with the blood{H1818} of lambs{H3733} and goats,{H6260} with the fat{H2459} of the kidneys{H3629} of rams;{H352} for Jehovah{H3068} hath a sacrifice{H2077} in Bozrah,{H1224} and a great{H1419} slaughter{H2874} in the land{H776} of Edom.{H123}

And the wild-oxen{H7214} shall come down{H3381} with them, and the bullocks{H6499} with the bulls:{H47} and their land{H776} shall be drunken{H7301} with blood,{H1818} and their dust{H6083} made fat{H1878} with fatness.{H2459}

For Jehovah{H3068} hath a day{H3117} of vengeance,{H5359} a year{H8141} of recompense{H7966} for the cause{H7379} of Zion.{H6726}

And the streams{H5158} of [Edom] shall be turned{H2015} into pitch,{H2203} and the dust{H6083} thereof into brimstone,{H1614} and the land{H776} thereof shall become burning{H1197} pitch.{H2203}

It shall not be quenched{H3518} night{H3915} nor day;{H3119} the smoke{H6227} thereof shall go up{H5927} for ever;{H5769} from generation{H1755} to generation{H1755} it shall lie waste;{H2717} none shall pass through{H5674} it for ever{H5331} and ever.{H5331}

But the pelican{H6893} and the porcupine{H7090} shall possess{H3423} it; and the owl{H3244} and the raven{H6158} shall dwell{H7931} therein: and he will stretch over{H5186} it the line{H6957} of confusion,{H8414} and the plummet{H68} of emptiness.{H922}

They shall call{H7121} the nobles{H2715} thereof to the kingdom,{H4410} but none shall be there; and all its princes{H8269} shall be nothing.{H657}

And thorns{H5518} shall come up{H5927} in its palaces,{H759} nettles{H7057} and thistles{H2336} in the fortresses{H4013} thereof; and it shall be a habitation{H5116} of jackals,{H8577} a court{H2681} for ostriches.{H1323}

And the wild beasts of the desert{H6728} shall meet{H6298} with the wolves,{H338} and the wild goat{H8163} shall cry{H7121} to his fellow;{H7453} yea, the night-monster{H3917} shall settle{H7280} there, and shall find{H4672} her a place of rest.{H7280}

There shall the dart-snake{H7091} make her nest,{H7077} and lay,{H4422} and hatch,{H1234} and gather{H1716} under her shade;{H6738} yea, there shall the kites{H1772} be gathered,{H6908} every one{H802} with her mate.{H7468}

Seek ye out{H1875} of the book{H5612} of Jehovah,{H3068} and read:{H7121} no one{H259} of these{H2007} shall be missing,{H5737} none{H802} shall want{H6485} her mate;{H7468} for my mouth,{H6310} it hath commanded,{H6680} and his Spirit,{H7307} it hath gathered{H6908} them.

And he hath cast{H5307} the lot{H1486} for them, and his hand{H3027} hath divided{H2505} it unto them by line:{H6957} they shall possess{H3423} it for{H5704} ever;{H5769} from generation{H1755} to generation{H1755} shall they dwell{H7931} therein.
