For the Eternal One is furious with all the nations. He has had it with their armies.
    He has marked them for destruction, and has given them over to slaughter.
Their blood will run like rivers down the mountains,
    their corpses tossed out, heaped up, and randomly piled in a great stinking mound.
All the stars in the once-vibrant heavens will vanish:
    and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll.
All the starry hosts will wither and fall,
    like grape leaves crisped by fall or fig leaves shriveled by winter.[a]

  1. 34:4 Matthew 24:29

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.
