For the (A)indignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their [a]hosts;
He has [b](B)devoted them to destruction;
He has given them over to (C)slaughter.
So their slain will be (D)cast out,
And their corpses [c]will give off their (E)stench,
And the mountains will [d]be drenched with their (F)blood.
And (G)all the host of heaven will rot away,
And the (H)sky 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.
For (I)My sword is satiated in heaven;
Behold, it shall descend for judgment upon (J)Edom
And upon the people whom I have (K)devoted to destruction.
The sword of Yahweh is filled with blood;
It is [e]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For Yahweh has a sacrifice in (L)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of (M)Edom.
(N)And wild oxen will also [f]fall with them,
And (O)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be (P)soaked with blood,
And their dust [g]become greasy with fat.
For Yahweh has a day of (Q)vengeance,
A year of recompense for the [h]cause of Zion.
