God’s Wrath against Nations
1 Draw near, APs 49:1; Is 41:1; 43:9O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
BDeut 32:1; Is 1:2Let the earth and 1Lit its fullnessall it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the Loʀᴅ’s AIs 26:20indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has 1Lit put under the banBIs 13:5; 24:1utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to CIs 30:25; 63:6; 65:12slaughter.
3 So their slain will be AIs 14:19thrown out,
And their corpses 1Lit their stench will go upwill give off their BJoel 2:20; Amos 4:10stench,
And the mountains will 2Lit dissolvebe drenched with their CEzek 14:19; 35:6; 38:22blood.
4 And AIs 13:13; 51:6; Ezek 32:7, 8; Joel 2:31; Matt 24:29; 2 Pet 3:10all the host of heaven will 1Lit rotwear away,
And the BRev 6:12-14sky 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 ADeut 32:41, 42; Jer 46:10; Ezek 21:3-5My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon BIs 63:1; Jer 49:7, 8, 20; Ezek 25:12-14; 35:1-15; Amos 1:11, 12; Obad 1-14; Mal 1:4Edom
And upon the people whom I have CIs 24:6; 43:28devoted to destruction.
6 The sword of the Loʀᴅ is filled with blood,
It is 1Lit made fatsated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Loʀᴅ has a sacrifice in AIs 63:1; Jer 49:13Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of BIs 63:1Edom.
And BPs 68:30; Jer 50:27young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be CIs 63:6soaked with blood,
And their dust 2Lit made fatbecome greasy with fat.
8 For the Loʀᴅ has a day of AIs 13:6; 35:4; 47:3; 61:2; 63:4vengeance,
A year of recompense for the 1Or controversycause of Zion.
9 1I.e. Edom’sIts streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into ADeut 29:23; Ps 11:6; Is 30:33brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will AIs 1:31; 66:24not be quenched night or day;
Its BRev 14:11; 19:3smoke will go up forever.
From CIs 13:20-22; 24:1; 34:10-15; Mal 1:3, 4generation to generation it will be desolate;
DEzek 29:11None will pass through it forever and ever.
And 2Or great horned owlowl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the B2 Kin 21:13; Is 24:10; Lam 2:8line of 3Or formlessnessdesolation
And the 4Lit stones of voidplumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is AJer 27:20; 39:6no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be BIs 41:11, 12nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its AIs 13:22; 25:2; 32:13fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of BPs 44:19; Jer 9:11; 10:22jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
Yes, the 3Heb Lilithnight monster will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its 1Lit shadeprotection.
Yes, ADeut 14:13the 2Or kiteshawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16 Seek from the AIs 30:8book of the Loʀᴅ, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For 1So DSS; M.T. MyBIs 1:20; 40:5; 58:14His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the AIs 17:13, 14; Jer 13:25lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by BIs 34:11line.
They shall possess it forever;
From CIs 34:10generation to generation they will dwell in it.
