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.
