“‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘With a great throng of people
    I will cast my net over you,
    and they will haul you up in my net.(A)
I will throw you on the land
    and hurl you on the open field.
I will let all the birds of the sky settle on you
    and all the animals of the wild gorge themselves on you.(B)
I will spread your flesh on the mountains
    and fill the valleys(C) with your remains.
I will drench the land with your flowing blood(D)
    all the way to the mountains,
    and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.(E)
When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
    and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
    and the moon will not give its light.(F)
All the shining lights in the heavens
    I will darken(G) over you;
    I will bring darkness over your land,(H)
declares the Sovereign Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.

Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.

I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.

And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God.

    (A)I will throw my net over you
    with a host of (B)many peoples,
    and (C)they will haul you up in my dragnet.

I will strew your flesh (E)upon the mountains
    and fill the valleys with your carcass.[a]
I will drench the land even to the mountains
    with your flowing blood,
    and the ravines will be full of you.

    and the moon shall not give its light.
All the bright lights of heaven
    will I make dark over you,
    and (H)put darkness on your land,
