(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Lord Will Judge Edom
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Come near, you nations, and listen!
Pay attention, you people!
The earth and everything it contains must listen,
the world and everything that lives in it.
[[#Verse 02.]] For the Lord is angry at all the nations
and furious with all their armies.
He will annihilate them and slaughter them.
[[#Verse 03.]]Â Their slain will be left unburied,
their corpses will stink;
the hills will soak up their blood.
[[#Verse 04.]]Â All the stars in the sky will fade away,
the sky will roll up like a scroll;
all its stars will wither,
like a leaf withers and falls from a vine
or a fig withers and falls from a tree.
[[#Verse 05.]] He says, “Indeed, my sword has slaughtered heavenly powers.
Look, it now descends on Edom,
on the people I will annihilate in judgment.”
[[#Verse 06.]] The Lord’s sword is dripping with blood,
it is covered with fat;
it drips with the blood of young rams and goats
and is covered with the fat of rams’ kidneys.
For the Lord is holding a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a bloody slaughter in the land of Edom.
[[#Verse 07.]] Wild oxen will be slaughtered along with them,
as well as strong bulls.
Their land is drenched with blood,
their soil is covered with fat.
[[#Verse 08.]] For the Lord has planned a day of revenge,
a time when he will repay Edom for her hostility toward Zion.
[[#Verse 09.]] Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch
and her soil into brimstone;
her land will become burning pitch.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â Night and day it will burn;
its smoke will ascend continually.
Generation after generation it will be a wasteland,
and no one will ever pass through it again.
[[#Verse 11.]] Owls and wild animals will live there,
all kinds of wild birds will settle in it.
The Lord will stretch out over her
the measuring line of ruin
and the plumb line of destruction.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom,
and all her officials will disappear.
[[#Verse 13.]]Â Her fortresses will be overgrown with thorns;
thickets and weeds will grow in her fortified cities.
Jackals will settle there;
ostriches will live there.
[[#Verse 14.]]Â Wild animals and wild dogs will congregate there;
wild goats will bleat to one another.
Yes, nocturnal animals will rest there
and make for themselves a nest.
[[#Verse 15.]] Owls will make nests and lay eggs there;
they will hatch them and protect them.
Yes, hawks will gather there,
each with its mate.
[[#Verse 16.]] Carefully read the scroll of the Lord!
Not one of these creatures will be missing,
none will lack a mate.
For the Lord has issued the decree,
and his own spirit gathers them.
[[#Verse 17.]]Â He assigns them their allotment;
he measures out their assigned place.
They will live there permanently;
they will settle in it through successive generations.
