" 'I will bring on them endless disasters and use all my arrows against them.

Your arrows are sharp, they pierce the hearts of your enemies; nations fall down at your feet.

so that you may wade in their blood, and your dogs may lap up as much as they want."

His sword will be covered with their blood and fat, like the blood and fat of lambs and goats that are sacrificed. The LORD will offer this sacrifice in the city of Bozrah; he will make this a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

This is the time when the LORD will rescue Zion and take vengeance on her enemies.

"When you tell them all this, they will ask you why I have decided to punish them so harshly. They will ask what crime they are guilty of and what sin they have committed against the LORD their God.

So then---as surely as I, the Sovereign LORD, am the living God---death is your fate, and you cannot escape it. You are guilty of murder, and murder will follow you.

I will cover the mountains with corpses, and the bodies of those who are killed in battle will cover the hills and valleys.

I will terrify Gog with all sorts of calamities. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken. His men will turn their swords against one another.

I will punish him with disease and bloodshed. Torrents of rain and hail, together with fire and sulfur, will pour down on him and his army and on the many nations that are on his side.

Why do you avoid me? Why do you treat me like an enemy?

All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer care about you. I have attacked you like an enemy; your punishment has been harsh because your sins are many and your wickedness is great.

Like an enemy, the Lord has destroyed Israel; He has left her forts and palaces in ruins. He has brought on the people of Judah unending sorrow.
