Yahweh is angry with all the nations.
    He is furious with all their armies.
    He has claimed them for destruction.
    He has handed them over to be slaughtered.
        Their dead bodies will be thrown out.
            A stench will rise from their corpses.
                Mountains will be red with their blood.
All the stars in the sky will rot.
    The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll.
    The stars will fall
    like leaves from a grapevine,
    like green figs from a fig tree.

He will totally destroy[a](B) them,
    he will give them over to slaughter.(C)
Their slain(D) will be thrown out,
    their dead bodies(E) will stink;(F)
    the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(G)
All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(H)
    and the heavens rolled up(I) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(J)
    like withered(K) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
