Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earthhear, and all that is therein; the world, and all thingsthat come forthof it. Forthe indignationof the LORD is uponallnations, and his furyuponalltheir armies: he hath utterly destroyedthem, he hath deliveredthem to the slaughter. Their slainalso shall be cast out, and their stinkshall come upout of their carcasses, and the mountainsshall be meltedwith their blood. And allthe hostof heavenshall be dissolved, and the heavensshall be rolled togetheras a scroll: and alltheir hostshall fall down, as the leaffalleth offfrom the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. Formy swordshall be bathedin heaven: behold, it shall come downuponIdumea, and uponthe peopleof my curse, to judgment. The swordof the LORDis filledwith blood, it is made fatwith fatness, and with the bloodof lambsand goats, with the fatof the kidneysof rams: forthe LORDhath a sacrificein Bozrah, and a greatslaughterin the landof Idumea. And the unicornsshall come downwiththem, and the bullockswiththe bulls; and their landshall be soakedwith blood, and their dustmade fatwith fatness. For it is the dayof the LORD's vengeance, and the yearof recompensesfor the controversyof Zion. And the streamsthereof shall be turnedinto pitch, and the dustthereof into brimstone, and the landthereof shall becomeburningpitch. It shall notbe quenchednightnor day; the smokethereof shall go upforever: from generationto generationit shall lie waste; noneshall pass throughit foreverand ever. But the cormorantand the bitternshall possessit; the owlalso and the ravenshall dwellin it: and he shall stretch outuponit the lineof confusion, and the stonesof emptiness. They shall callthe noblesthereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and allher princesshall benothing. And thornsshall come upin her palaces, nettlesand bramblesin the fortressesthereof: and it shall bea habitationof dragons, and a courtfor owls. The wild beasts of the desertshall also meetwiththe wild beasts of the island, and the satyrshall crytohis fellow; the screech owlalsoshall restthere, and findfor herself a place of rest. Thereshall the great owlmake her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gatherunder her shadow: thereshall the vulturesalsobe gathered, every onewith her mate. Seekye out ofthe bookof the LORD, and read: nooneof theseshall fail, noneshall wanther mate: formy mouthithath commanded, and his spiritithath gatheredthem. And hehath castthe lotfor them, and his handhath dividedit unto them by line: they shall possessit forever, from generationto generationshall they dwelltherein.
