Isaiah 34:1–7

Judgment Against the Nations

34 Come near, you nations, and listen;e

pay attention, you peoples!f

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

the world, and all that comes out of it!h

2 The Lord is angry with all nations;

his wrathi is on all their armies.

He will totally destroya j them,

he will give them over to slaughter.k

3 Their slainl will be thrown out,

their dead bodiesm will stink;n

the mountains will be soaked with their blood.o

4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolvedp

and the heavens rolled upq like a scroll;

all the starry host will fallr

like withereds leaves from the vine,

like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

5 My swordt has drunk its fill in the heavens;

see, it descends in judgment on Edom,u

the people I have totally destroyed.v

6 The swordw of the Lord is bathed in blood,

it is covered with fat—

the blood of lambs and goats,

fat from the kidneys of rams.

For the Lord has a sacrificex in Bozrahy

and a great slaughterz in the land of Edom.

7 And the wild oxena will fall with them,

the bull calves and the great bulls.b

Their land will be drenched with blood,c

and the dust will be soaked with fat.
