World English Bible Classic
[1] Come near, you nations, to hear!
Listen, you peoples.
Let the earth and all it contains hear,
the world, and everything that comes from it.
[2] For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations,
and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
He has given them over for slaughter.
[3] Their slain will also be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.
The mountains will melt in their blood.
[4] All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all its armies will fade away,
as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
[5] For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.
Behold, it will come down on Edom,
and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
[6] Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood.
It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams;
for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
[7] The wild oxen will come down with them,
and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
and their land will be drunken with blood,
and their dust made greasy with fat. [8] For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
[9] Its streams will be turned into pitch,
its dust into sulfur,
and its land will become burning pitch.
[10] It won’t be quenched night or day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste.
No one will pass through it forever and ever.
[11] But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
He will stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
[12] They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there;
and all its princes shall be nothing.
[13] Thorns will come up in its palaces,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses;
and it will be a habitation of jackals,
a court for ostriches.
[14] The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.
Yes, the night creature§ shall settle there,
and shall find herself a place of rest.
[15] The arrow snake will make her nest there,
and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.
Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate. [16] Search in the book of Yahweh, and read:
not one of these will be missing.
None will lack her mate.
For my mouth has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
[17] He has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever.
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

King James Version

The Day of the Lord

[1] Come near, H7126 ye nations, H1471 to hear; H8085 and hearken, H7181 ye people: H3816 let the earth H776 hear, H8085 and all that is therein; H4393§ the world, H8398 and all things that come forth H6631 of it. [2] For H3588 the indignation H7110 of the Lord H3068 is upon all nations, H1471 and his fury H2534 upon H5921 all H3605 their armies: H6635 he hath utterly destroyed H2763 them, he hath delivered H5414 them to the slaughter. H2874 [3] Their slain H2491 also shall be cast out, H7993 and their stink H889 shall come up H5927 out of their carcases, H6297 and the mountains H2022 shall be melted H4549 with their blood. H1818 [4] And all the host H6635 of heaven H8064 shall be dissolved, H4743 and the heavens H8064 shall be rolled together H1556 as a scroll: H5612 and all their host H6635 shall fall down, H5034 as the leaf H5929 falleth off H5034 from the vine, H1612 and as a falling H5034 fig from the fig tree. H8384 [5] For H3588 my sword H2719 shall be bathed H7301 in heaven: H8064 behold, it shall come down H3381 upon H5921 Idumea, H123 and upon the people H5971 of my curse, H2764 to judgment. H4941 [6] The sword H2719 of the Lord H3068 is filled H4390 with blood, H1818 it is made fat H1878 with fatness, H2459 and with the blood H1818 of lambs H3733 and goats, H6260 with the fat H2459 of the kidneys H3629 of rams: H352 for H3588 the Lord H3068 hath a sacrifice H2077 in Bozrah, H1224 and a great H1419 slaughter H2874 in the land H776 of Idumea. H123 [7] And the unicorns H7214§ shall come down H3381 with them, and the bullocks H6499 with the bulls; H47 and their land H776 shall be soaked H7301§ with blood, H1818 and their dust H6083 made fat H1878 with fatness. H2459 [8] For it is the day H3117 of the Lord’s H3068 vengeance, H5359 and the year H8141 of recompences H7966 for H3588 the controversy H7379 of Zion. H6726 [9] And the streams H5158 thereof shall be turned H2015 into pitch, H2203 and the dust H6083 thereof into brimstone, H1614 and the land H776 thereof shall become burning H1197 pitch. H2203 [10] It shall H3518 not H3808 be quenched H3518 night H3915 nor day; H3119 the smoke H6227 thereof shall go up H5927 for ever: H5769 from generation H1755 to generation H1755 it shall lie waste; H2717 none shall pass through H5674 it for ever H5331 and ever. H5331 [11] But the cormorant H6893§ and the bittern H7090 shall possess H3423 it; the owl H3244 also and the raven H6158 shall dwell H7931 in it: and he shall stretch out H5186 upon H5921 it the line H6957 of confusion, H8414 and the stones H68 of emptiness. H922 [12] They shall call H7121 the nobles H2715 thereof to the kingdom, H4410 but none shall be there, and all her princes H8269 shall be nothing. H657 [13] And thorns H5518 shall come up H5927 in her palaces, H759 nettles H7057 and brambles H2336 in the fortresses H4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitation H5116 of dragons, H8577 and a court H2681 for owls. H1323§ H3284 [14] The wild beasts§ of the desert H6728 shall also meet H6298 H853 with the wild beasts§ of the island, H338 and the satyr H8163 shall cry H7121 to his fellow; H7453 the screech owl H3917 also shall rest H7280 there, and find H4672 for herself a place of rest. H4494 [15] There H8033 shall the great owl H7091 make her nest, H7077 and lay, H4422 and hatch, H1234 and gather H1716 under her shadow: H6738 there H8033 shall the vultures H1772 also be gathered, H6908 every one H802 with her mate. H7468 [16] Seek ye out H1875 of the book H5612 of the Lord, H3068 and read: H7121 no one H259 of these H2007 shall fail, H5737 none H802 shall want H6485 her mate: H7468 for H3588 my mouth H6310 it hath commanded, H6680 and his spirit H7307 it hath gathered H6908 them. [17] And he hath cast H5307 the lot H1486 for them, and his hand H3027 hath divided H2505 it unto them by line: H6957 they shall possess H3423 it for H5704 ever, H5769 from generation H1755 to generation H1755 shall they dwell H7931 therein.
