Judgment on the Nations

1 Draw near, ^gO nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has ^hdevoted them to destruction, ^{▼▼That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verse 5} has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and ^jthe stench of their corpses shall rise;
^kthe mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 ^lAll the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon ^mEdom,
upon the people ⁿI have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
^oFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 ^pWild oxen shall ^qfall with them,
and ^ryoung steers with ^sthe mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 ^tFor the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 ^uAnd the streams of Edom ^{▼▼Hebrew her streams} shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day ^wit shall not be quenched;
^xits smoke shall go up forever.
^yFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 ^zBut the hawk and the porcupine ^{▼▼The identity of the animals rendered hawk and porcupine is uncertain} shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
^abHe shall stretch the line of ^acconfusion ^{▼▼Hebrew formlessness} over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 ^aeThorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of ^afjackals,
an abode for ostriches. ^{▼▼Or owls}
14 ^ahAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird ^{▼▼Identity uncertain} settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there ^ajthe hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 ^akHe has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

Isaiah 63:1-6

The Lord’s Day of Vengeance

1 Who is this who comes from ^alEdom,
in crimsoned garments from ^amBozrah,
he who is splendid in his apparel,
^anmarching in the greatness of his strength?
“It is I, speaking in righteousness,
mighty to save.”
2 Why is your ^aoapparel red,
and your garments like his ^apwho treads in the winepress?
3 ^aq“I have trodden the winepress alone,
^arand from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their lifeblood ^{▼▼Or their juice; also verse 6} spattered on my garments,
and stained all my apparel.
4 ^atFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and my year of redemption ^{▼▼Or the year of my redeemed} had come.
5 I looked, but ^avthere was no one to help;
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
and my wrath upheld me.
6 I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
^awI made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”

Jeremiah 9:25-26

25 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when ^axI will punish all those who are circumcised merely in the flesh— 26 ^ayEgypt, Judah, Edom, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and ^azall who dwell in the desert who cut the corners of their hair, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are ^bauncircumcised in heart.”

Jeremiah 25:17

17 So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, ^bband made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it:
