1 Come near, you2f nations, to hear; and hearken, you2f people: let the earth hear, and all that is in it; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

2 For the indignation of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] upon all nations, and [his] fury upon all their armies: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter.

3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 And all the army of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.

5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom [red], and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 The sword of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has a sacrifice in Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress], and a great slaughter in the land of Edom [red].

7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 For [it is] the day of the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] vengeance, [and] the year of recompenses for the controversy of Tziyon [parched place].

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into sulfur, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.

11 But the cormorant and the hedgehogs shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls.

14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the he-goat shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, everyone with her mate.

16 Seek you2f out of the Book of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall lack her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered them.

17 And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it forever, from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.
