34:1 Come near, you nations, and listen!

Pay attention, you people!

The earth and everything it contains must listen,

the world and everything that lives in it. ¹ 

34:2 For the Lord is angry at all the nations

and furious with all their armies.

He will annihilate them and slaughter them.

34:3 Their slain will be left unburied, ² 

their corpses will stink; ³ 

the hills will soak up their blood. ⁴ 

34:4 All the stars in the sky will fade away, ⁵ 

the sky will roll up like a scroll;

all its stars will wither,

like a leaf withers and falls from a vine

or a fig withers and falls from a tree. ⁶ 

34:5 He says, ⁷  “Indeed, my sword has slaughtered heavenly powers. ⁸ 

Look, it now descends on Edom, ⁹ 

on the people I will annihilate in judgment.”

34:6 The Lord’s sword is dripping with blood,

it is covered ¹⁰  with fat;

it drips ¹¹  with the blood of young rams and goats

and is covered ¹²  with the fat of rams’ kidneys.

For the Lord is holding a sacrifice ¹³  in Bozrah, ¹⁴ 

a bloody ¹⁵  slaughter in the land of Edom.
