\v 1 Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people!
|
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 The earth and all that fills it must listen, the world, and all things that come from it.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
\v 2 For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies;
|
|
|
|
\q1 he has completely destroyed them, he has handed them over to the slaughter.

|
|
|
|
\q1 and the mountains will soak up their blood.

\v 4 All the stars of the sky will fade away,
|
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll; and all their stars will fade away,
|
|
|
|
\q1 as the leaf fades from off the vine, and as the overripe figs from the fig tree.

\v 5 For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven;
|
|
|
|
\q1 look, it will now come down on Edom, on the people I am setting apart for destruction.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
\v 6 The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat,
|
|
|
|
\q1 dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, covered with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
|
|
|
|
\q1 For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

\q1 Their land will be drunk with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
\v 9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur,
|
|
|
|
\q1 and her land will become burning pitch.
|

|
|
\q1
|
2016-08-08 18:52:12 +00:00

\v 10 It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever;
|
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 from generation to generation it will
|
|
|
|
be a wasteland; no one will pass through it forever and ever.

\v 11 But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it.
|
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 He will stretch over it the measuring line of ruin and the plumbline of destruction.

\q1
|

\v 12 Her nobles
|
|
|
|
\q1 will have nothing left to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.

\q1
|
|
|
|
\v 13 Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses.
|
|
|
|
\q1 It will be a habitation of jackals, a place for ostriches.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
\v 14 The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another.
|
|
|
|
\q1 Nocturnal animals will settle there and find for themselves a place of rest.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|

|
\v 15 Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young.
|

\q1 None will lack for a mate; for his mouth has commanded it, and his spirit has gathered them.

\q1

2016-08-08 18:52:12 +00:00

\v 17 He has cast lots for their places, and his hand has measured it out for them by a cord.
|
2016-04-01 21:07:38 +00:00
|
|
|
\q1 They will possess it for ever; from
|
|
|
|
generation to generation they will live there.
