Isaiah 34:1-6

God’s Wrath against Nations

^{Tools
1}

Draw near, ^(A)O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
^(B)Let the earth and ^(a)all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

^{Tools

For the Lord’s ^(C)indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has ^(b)^(D)utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to ^(E)slaughter.

So their slain will be ^(F)thrown out,
And their corpses ^(c)will give off their ^(G)stench,
And the mountains will ^(d)be drenched with their ^(H)blood.

^{Tools
4}

And ^(I)all the host of heaven will ^(e)wear away,
And the ^(J)sky 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.

^{Tools

For ^(K)My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon ^(L)Edom
And upon the people whom I have ^(M)devoted to destruction.

^{Tools
6}

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is ^(f)sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in ^(N)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of ^(O)Edom.
