For the Lords (A)anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has [a](B)utterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to (C)slaughter.
So their slain will be (D)thrown out,
And their corpses [b]will give off their (E)stench,
And the mountains will [c]be drenched with their (F)blood.
And (G)all the heavenly [d]lights will [e]wear away,
And the (H)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its [f]lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.

The Lord is angry with all nations;
    his wrath(A) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](B) them,

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.
