Yahweh’s Wrath Against the Nations

1Draw near, aO nations, to hear; and pay attention, O peoples!

bLet the earth hear, as well as its fullness, the world and all that springs from it.

2For the aindignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,

And His wrath against all their 1hosts;

He has 2bdevoted them to destruction;

He has given them over to cslaughter.

3So their slain will be acast out,

And their corpses 1will give off their bstench,

And the mountains will 2be drenched with their cblood.

4And aall the host of heaven will rot away,

And the bsky will be rolled up like a scroll;

All their hosts will also wither away

As a leaf withers from the vine,

Or as one withers from the fig tree.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Draw near, O 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.

For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,

and furious against all their host;

he has devoted them to destruction, has given them over for slaughter.

Their slain shall be cast out,

and the stench of their corpses shall rise;

the mountains shall flow with their blood.

All 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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Come near, you nations, and listen;

pay attention, you peoples!

Let the earth hear, and all that is in it,

the world, and all that comes out of it!

The Lord is angry with all nations;

his wrath is on all their armies.

He will totally destroy them,

he will give them over to slaughter.

Their slain will be thrown out,

their dead bodies will stink;

the mountains will be soaked with their blood.

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved

and the heavens rolled up like a scroll;

all the starry host will fall

like withered leaves from the vine,

like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You nations, come here and listen;

you peoples, pay attention!

Let the earth and all that fills it hear,

the world and all that comes from it.

The Lord is angry with all the nations,

furious with all their armies.

He will set them apart for destruction,

giving them over to slaughter.

Their slain will be thrown out,

and the stench of their corpses will rise;

the mountains will flow with their blood.

All the stars in the sky will dissolve.

The sky will roll up like a scroll,

and its stars will all wither

as leaves wither on the vine,

and foliage on the fig tree.

NLTNew Living Translation

Come here and listen, O nations of the earth.

Let the world and everything in it hear my words.

For the Lord is enraged against the nations.

His fury is against all their armies.

He will completely destroy them,

dooming them to slaughter.

Their dead will be left unburied,

and the stench of rotting bodies will fill the land.

The mountains will flow with their blood.

The heavens above will melt away

and disappear like a rolled-up scroll.

The stars will fall from the sky

like withered leaves from a grapevine,

or shriveled figs from a fig tree.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Come near, nations, to hear;

and peoples, listen attentively!

Let the earth hear, and that which fills it;

the world and all its offspring.

For the anger of Yahweh is against all the nations,

and his wrath is against all their host;

he has put them under a ban,

he has given them up for slaughter.

And their slain shall be cast out;

as for their corpses, their stench shall go up.

And the mountains shall melt with their blood,

and all the host of heaven shall rot.

And the skies shall roll up like a scroll,

and all their host shall wither

like the withering of a leaf from a vine,

or like the withering from a fig tree.

KJV 1900King James Version

Come near, ye nations, to hear;

And hearken, ye people:

Let the earth hear, and all that is therein;

The world, and all things that come forth of it.

For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations,

And his fury upon all their armies:

He hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

Their slain also shall be cast out,

And their stink shall come up out of their carcases,

And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved,

And the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll:

And all their host shall fall down,

As the leaf falleth off from the vine,

And as a falling fig from the fig tree.
