Isaiah 34:1-10 Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it. ² For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction. ³ Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing. ⁴ And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree. ⁵ For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse. ⁶ The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle. ⁸ For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion. ⁹ And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire. ¹⁰ It will not be put out day or night; its smoke will go up for ever: it will be waste from generation to generation; no one will go through it for ever.
