The Lord is angry with all the nations.
    His anger is against all their armies.
He will totally destroy them.
    He will have them killed.
Those who are killed won’t be buried.
    Their dead bodies will be thrown on the ground.
They will stink.
    Their blood will cover the mountains.
All the stars in the sky will vanish.
    The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll.
All the stars in the sky will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine.
    They will drop like wrinkled figs from a fig tree.

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.
