1 Come close, you nations, and listen.
2 The Lord is angry with all the nations.
3 Their dead bodies will be thrown out.
4 All the stars in the sky will rot.
5 When my sword is covered ⌞with blood⌟ in the heavens,
6 The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.
7 Wild oxen will be killed with them,
8 The Lord will have a day of vengeance,
9 Edom’s streams will be turned to tar.
10 They will not be extinguished day or night,
11 Pelicans and herons will take possession of the land.
12 There are no nobles to rule a kingdom.
13 Its palaces are covered with thorns.
14 Hyenas will meet with jackals.
15 Owls will make their nests there, lay eggs, and hatch them.
16 Search the Lord’s book, and read it.
17 He is the one who throws dice for them,
