The Lord is angry against all the nations
    and all their armies.
He has decided to destroy them,
    and that is what he will do.
Nobody will bury the dead bodies
    of those who have died in battle.
The smell of their dead bodies will be everywhere.
    Their blood will pour down the mountains.
The stars in the sky will slowly disappear.
    The sky will close up like a book.
All the stars will fall,
    like dry leaves that fall from a vine.
They will drop like figs from a fig tree,
    when they become dry.

The Lord is angry with all nations;
    his wrath(A) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](B) them,
    he will give them over to slaughter.(C)
Their slain(D) will be thrown out,
    their dead bodies(E) will stink;(F)
    the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(G)
All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(H)
    and the heavens rolled up(I) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(J)
    like withered(K) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
