1. You nations, come here and listen; you peoples, pay attention! Let the earth hear, and all that fills it, the world and all that comes from it.
|
1. Come near H7126 , ye nations H1471 , to hear H8085 ; and hearken H7181 , ye people H3816 : let the earth H776 hear H8085 , and all that is therein H4393 ; the world H8398 , and all things H3605 that come forth H6631 of it.
|
|
2. 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.
|
2. For H3588 the indignation H7110 of the LORD H3068 is upon H5921 all H3605 nations H1471 , and his fury H2534 upon H5921 all H3605 their armies H6635 : he hath utterly destroyed H2763 them , he hath delivered H5414 them to the slaughter H2874 .
|
|
3. Their slain will be thrown out, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains flow with their blood.
|
3. Their slain H2491 also shall be cast out H7993 , and their stink H889 shall come up H5927 out of their carcasses H6297 , and the mountains H2022 shall be melted H4549 with their blood H4480 H1818 .
|
|
4. All the heavenly bodies will dissolve. The skies will roll up like a scroll, and their stars will all wither as leaves wither on the vine, and foliage on the fig tree.
|
4. And all H3605 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 H3605 their host H6635 shall fall down H5034 , as the leaf H5929 falleth off H5034 from the vine H4480 H1612 , and as a falling H5034 fig from the fig tree H4480 H8384 .
|
|
5. When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens it will then come down on Edom and on the people I have set apart for destruction.
|
5. For H3588 my sword H2719 shall be bathed H7301 in heaven H8064 : behold H2009 , it shall come down H3381 upon H5921 Idumea H123 , and upon H5921 the people H5971 of my curse H2764 , to judgment H4941 .
|
|
6. The LORD's sword is covered 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 Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
|
6. The sword H2719 of the LORD H3068 is filled H4390 with blood H1818 , it is made fat H1878 with fatness H4480 H2459 , and with the blood H4480 H1818 of lambs H3733 and goats H6260 , with the fat H4480 H2459 of the kidneys H3629 of rams H352 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath a sacrifice H2077 in Bozrah H1224 , and a great H1419 slaughter H2874 in the land H776 of Idumea H123 .
|
|
7. The wild oxen will be struck down with them, and young bulls with the mighty bulls. Their land will be soaked with blood, and their soil will be saturated with fat.
|
7. And the unicorns H7214 shall come down H3381 with H5973 them , and the bullocks H6499 with H5973 the bulls H47 ; and their land H776 shall be soaked H7301 with blood H4480 H1818 , and their dust H6083 made fat H1878 with fatness H4480 H2459 .
|
|
8. For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a time of paying back Edom for its hostility against Zion.
|
8. For H3588 it is the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 's vengeance H5359 , and the year H8141 of recompenses H7966 for the controversy H7379 of Zion H6726 .
|
|
9. Edom's streams will be turned into pitch, her soil into sulfur; her land will become burning pitch.
|
9. And the streams H5158 thereof shall be turned H2015 into pitch H2203 , and the dust H6083 thereof into brimstone H1614 , and the land H776 thereof shall become H1961 burning H1197 pitch H2203 .
|
|
10. It will never go out-- day or night. Its smoke will go up forever. It will be desolate, from generation to generation; no one will pass through it forever and ever.
|
10. It shall not H3808 be quenched H3518 night H3915 nor day H3119 ; the smoke H6227 thereof shall go up H5927 forever H5769 : from generation H4480 H1755 to generation H1755 it shall lie waste H2717 ; none H369 shall pass through H5674 it forever H5331 and ever H5331 .
|
|
11. The desert owl and the hedgehog will possess it, and the great owl and the raven will dwell there. The LORD will stretch out a measuring line and a plumb line over her for her destruction and chaos.
|
11. But the cormorant H6893 and the bittern H7090 shall possess H3423 it ; the owl H3244 also and the raven H6158 shall dwell H7931 in it : and he shall stretch out H5186 upon H5921 it the line H6957 of confusion H8414 , and the stones H68 of emptiness H922 .
|
|
12. No nobles will be left to proclaim a king, and all her princes will come to nothing.
|
12. They shall call H7121 the nobles H2715 thereof to the kingdom H4410 , but none H369 shall be there H8033 , and all H3605 her princes H8269 shall be H1961 nothing H657 .
|
|
13. Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns; her fortified cities, with thistles and briers. She will become a dwelling for jackals, an abode for ostriches.
|
13. And thorns H5518 shall come up H5927 in her palaces H759 , nettles H7057 and brambles H2336 in the fortresses H4013 thereof : and it shall be H1961 a habitation H5116 of dragons H8565 , and a court H2681 for owls H1323 H3284 .
|
|
14. The wild beasts will meet hyenas, and one wild goat will call to another. Indeed, the screech owl will stay there and will find a resting place for herself.
|
14. The wild beasts of the desert H6728 shall also meet H6298 with H854 the wild beasts of the island H338 , and the satyr H8163 shall cry H7121 to H5921 his fellow H7453 ; the screech owl H3917 also H389 shall rest H7280 there H8033 , and find H4672 for herself a place of rest H4494 .
|
|
15. The sand partridge will make her nest there; she will lay and hatch her eggs and will gather her brood under her shadow. Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there, each with its mate.
|
15. There H8033 shall the great owl H7091 make her nest H7077 , and lay H4422 , and hatch H1234 , and gather H1716 under her shadow H6738 : there H8033 shall the vultures H1772 also H389 be gathered H6908 , every one H802 with her mate H7468 .
|
|
16. Search and read the scroll of the LORD: Not one of them will be missing, none will be lacking its mate, because He has ordered it by my mouth, and He will gather them by His Spirit.
|
16. Seek H1875 ye out of H4480 H5921 the book H5612 of the LORD H3068 , and read H7121 : no H3808 one H259 of these H4480 H2007 shall fail H5737 , none H3808 H802 shall want H6485 her mate H7468 : for H3588 my mouth H6310 it H1931 hath commanded H6680 , and his spirit H7307 it H1931 hath gathered H6908 them.
|
|
17. He has ordained a lot for them; His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line. They will possess it forever; they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
|
17. And he H1931 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 forever H5704 H5769 , from generation H1755 to generation H1755 shall they dwell H7931 therein.
