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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
(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.
