‏ Isaiah 34:1-6

God’s Wrath against Nations

1 Come near, ^ayou nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!
^bLet the earth and ^{▼▼Lit its fullness}all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the Lord’s ^danger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has ^{▼▼Lit put under the ban} ^futterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to ^gslaughter.
3 So their slain will be ^hthrown out,
And their corpses ^{▼▼Lit their stench will go up}will give off their ^jstench,
And the mountains will ^{▼▼Lit dissolve}be drenched with their ^lblood.
4 And ^mall the heavenly ^{▼▼Lit host; i.e., sun, stars, etc.}lights will ^{▼▼Lit rot}wear away,
And the ^psky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its ^{▼▼Lit host; i.e., sun, stars, etc.}lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 For ^rMy sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon ^sEdom,
And upon the people whom I have ^tdesignated for destruction.
6 The 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 ^uBozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of ^vEdom.
