Isaiah 34:1-8

Isaiah 34:1-8

[1] Come near,  ye nations,  to hear;  and hearken,  ye people:  let the earth  hear,  and all that is therein;  the world,  and all things that come forth  [2] For the indignation  of the LORD  is upon all nations,  and his fury  upon all their armies:  he hath utterly destroyed  them, he hath delivered  them to the slaughter.  [3] 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.  [4] 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.  [5] For my sword  shall be bathed  in heaven:  behold, it shall come down  upon Idumea,  and upon the people  of my curse,  to judgment.  [6] The sword  of the LORD  is filled  with blood,  it is made fat  with fatness,  and with the blood  of lambs  and goats,  with the fat  of the kidneys  of rams:  for the LORD  hath a sacrifice  in Bozrah,  and a great  slaughter  in the land  of Idumea.  [7] And the unicorns  shall come down  with them, and the bullocks  with the bulls;  and their land  shall be soaked  with blood,  and their dust  made fat  with fatness.  [8] For it is the day  of the LORD'S  vengeance,  and the year  of recompences  for the controversy  of Zion.
