So their slain will be (A)thrown out,
And their corpses [a]will give off their (B)stench,
And the mountains will [b]be drenched with their (C)blood.
And (D)all the heavenly [c]lights will [d]wear away,
And the (E)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its [e]lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
For (F)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (G)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (H)designated for destruction.

Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
