23 (A)I beheld the earth, and indeed it was (B)without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
24 (C)I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,
And (D)all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a (E)wilderness,
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
By His fierce anger.

27 For thus says the Lord:

“The whole land shall be desolate;
(F)Yet I will not make a full end.
28 For this (G)shall the earth mourn,
And (H)the heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have (I)purposed and (J)will not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.

23 I looked at the earth,
    and it was formless and empty;(A)
and at the heavens,
    and their light(B) was gone.
24 I looked at the mountains,
    and they were quaking;(C)
    all the hills were swaying.
25 I looked, and there were no people;
    every bird in the sky had flown away.(D)
26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;(E)
    all its towns lay in ruins(F)
    before the Lord, before his fierce anger.(G)

27 This is what the Lord says:

“The whole land will be ruined,(H)
    though I will not destroy(I) it completely.
28 Therefore the earth will mourn(J)
    and the heavens above grow dark,(K)
because I have spoken and will not relent,(L)
    I have decided and will not turn back.(M)

(A)All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;
(B)All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as (C)fruit falling from a fig tree.

“For (D)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it (E)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
The (F)sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is made [a]overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For (G)the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]saturated with fatness.”

For it is the day of the Lord’s (H)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
(I)Its streams shall be turned into pitch,
And its dust into brimstone;
Its land shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night or day;
(J)Its smoke shall ascend forever.
(K)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.

The sword(H) of the Lord is bathed in blood,

the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(I) in Bozrah(J)

And the wild oxen(L) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.(M)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(N)

For the Lord has a day(O) of vengeance,(P)
    a year of retribution,(Q) to uphold Zion’s cause.

From generation to generation(U) it will lie desolate;(V)

Impending Judgment on the Earth

24 Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the (A)priest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
(B)As with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered,
For the Lord has spoken this word.

The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The (C)haughty[a] people of the earth languish.
(D)The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have (E)transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the (F)everlasting covenant.
