Isaiah 34:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible
Yahweh’s Wrath Against the Nations
34 Draw near, (A)O nations, to hear; and pay attention, O peoples!
(B)Let the earth hear, as well as its fullness, the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the (C)indignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their [a]hosts;
He has [b](D)devoted them to destruction;
He has given them over to (E)slaughter.
3 So their slain will be (F)cast out,
And their corpses [c]will give off their (G)stench,
And the mountains will [d]be drenched with their (H)blood.
4 And (I)all the host of heaven will rot away,
And the (J)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.
5 For (K)My sword is satiated in heaven;
Behold, it shall descend for judgment upon (L)Edom
And upon the people whom I have (M)devoted to destruction.
6 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 (N)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of (O)Edom.
7 (P)And wild oxen will also [f]fall with them,
And (Q)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be (R)soaked with blood,
And their dust [g]become greasy with fat.
