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 host of heaven will [c]wear away,
And the (E)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
For (F)My sword is satiated in heaven,
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (G)Edom
And upon the people whom I have (H)devoted to destruction.

Their slain(A) will be thrown out,
    their dead bodies(B) will stink;(C)
    the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(D)
All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(E)
    and the heavens rolled up(F) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(G)
    like withered(H) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

My sword(I) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(J)
    the people I have totally destroyed.(K)
