* Come near , ye nations , to hear . And hearken , ye peoples . Let the earth hear , and the fullness thereof , the world , and all things that come forth from it . * For LORD has indignation against all the nations , and wrath against all their host . He has utterly destroyed them . He has delivered them to the slaughter . * Their slain also shall be cast out . And the stench of their dead bodies shall come up , and the mountains shall be melted with their blood . * And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved , and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll . And all their host shall fade away as the leaf fades from off the vine , and as a fading [leaf ] from the fig tree . * For my sword has drunk its fill in heaven . Behold , it shall come down upon Edom , and upon the people of my curse , to judgment . * The sword of LORD is filled with blood . It is made fat with fatness , with the blood of lambs and goats , with the fat of the kidneys of rams , for LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah , and a great slaughter in the land of Edom . * And the wild oxen shall come down with them , and the bullocks with the bulls . And their land shall be drunken with blood , and their dust made fat with fatness . * For LORD has a day of vengeance , a year of recompense for the cause of Zion . * And the streams of [Edom ] shall be turned into pitch , and the dust of it into brimstone . And the land thereof shall become burning pitch . * It shall not be quenched night nor day . The smoke of it shall go up forever . From generation to generation it shall lie waste . None shall pass through it forever and ever . * But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it . And the owl and the raven shall dwell in it . And he will stretch over it the line of confusion , and the plummet of emptiness . * They shall call the nobles of it to the kingdom , but none shall be there . And all its rulers shall be nothing . * And thorns shall come up in its palaces , nettles and thistles in the fortresses of it . And it shall be a habitation of jackals , a court for ostriches . * And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves . And the wild goat shall cry to his fellow . Yea , the screech owl shall settle there , and shall find her a place of rest . * There the dart-snake shall make her nest , and lay , and hatch , and gather under her shade . Yea , there the vultures shall be gathered , each one with her mate . * Seek ye out of the book of LORD , and read . No one of these shall be missing . None shall want her mate . For my mouth , it has commanded , and his Spirit , it has gathered them . * And he has cast the lot for them , and his hand has divided it to them by line . They shall possess it forever . From generation to generation they shall dwell therein .
