Come near,
ye nations,
to hear;
and hearken,
ye people:
let the earth
hear,
and all that is therein;
the world,
and all things that come forth
of it.
For the indignation
of the LORD
is upon all nations,
and his fury
upon all their armies:
he hath utterly destroyed
them, he hath delivered
them to the slaughter.
Their slain
also shall be cast out,
and their stink
shall come up
out of their carcases,
and the mountains
shall be melted
with their blood.
And all the host
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
falleth off
from the vine,
and as a falling
fig from the fig tree.
For my sword
shall be bathed
in heaven:
behold, it shall come down
upon Idumea,
and upon the people
of my curse,
to judgment.
The sword
of the LORD
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
hath a sacrifice
in Bozrah,
and a great
slaughter
in the land
of Idumea.

And the unicorns

with them, and the bullocks
with the bulls;
and their land
shall be soaked
with blood,
and their dust
made fat
with fatness.

For it is the day
of the LORD'S
vengeance,
and the year

for the controversy
of Zion.
And the streams
thereof shall be turned
into pitch,
and the dust
thereof into brimstone,
and the land
thereof shall become burning
pitch.
It shall not be quenched
night
nor day;
the smoke
thereof shall go up
for ever:
from generation
to generation
it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through
it for ever
and ever.
But the cormorant
and the bittern
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.

They shall call
the nobles
thereof to the kingdom,
but none shall be there, and all her princes
shall be nothing.
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.
The wild beasts of the desert
shall also meet
with the wild beasts of the island,
and the satyr
shall cry
to his fellow;
the screech owl
also shall rest
there, and find
for herself a place of rest.

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

Seek ye out

no one
of these
shall fail,
none
shall want
her mate:
for my mouth
it hath commanded,
and his spirit
it hath gathered
them.
And he hath cast
the lot
for them, and his hand
hath divided
it unto them by line:
they shall possess
it for
ever,
from generation
to generation
shall they dwell
therein.
