The Judgment of the Nations

You nations, come here and listen;

Let the earth and all that fills it hear,

the world and all that comes from it.

furious with all their armies.

He will set them apart for destruction,

All[fn] the stars in the sky will dissolve.

and foliage on the fig tree.

The LORD’s sword is covered with blood.

It drips with fat,

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:7 -

Eagle owls[fn] and herons[fn] will possess it,

She will become a dwelling for jackals,

an abode[fn] for ostriches.

and he will gather them by his Spirit.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:17 -

He has cast the lot for them;

his hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.

They will possess it forever;

they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
