KJV 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 of it.

VULC ¹ [Accedite, gentes, et audite ;
et populi, attendite :
audiat terra, et plenitudo ejus ;
orbis, et omne germen ejus.

KJV 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.

VULC ² Quia indignatio Domini super omnes gentes,
et furor super universam militiam eorum :
interfecit eos, et dedit eos in occisionem.

KJV 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.

VULC ³ Interfecti eorum projicientur,
et de cadaveribus eorum ascendet fœtor ;
tabescent montes a sanguine eorum.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁴ Et tabescet omnis militia cælorum,
et complicabuntur sicut liber cæli :
et omnis militia eorum defluet,
sicut defluit folium de vinea et de ficu.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁵ Quoniam inebriatus est in cælo gladius meus ;
ecce super Idumæam descendet,
et super populum interfectionis meæ, ad judicium.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁶ Gladius Domini repletus est sanguine,
incrassatus est adipe,
de sanguine agnorum et hircorum,
de sanguine medullatorum arietum :
victima enim Domini in Bosra,
et interfectio magna in terra Edom.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁷ Et descendent unicornes cum eis,
et tauri cum potentibus ;
inebriabitur terra eorum sanguine,
et humus eorum adipe pinguium.

KJV ⁸ For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

VULC ⁸ Quia dies ultionis Domini,
annus retributionum judicii Sion.

KJV ⁹ And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

VULC ⁹ Et convertentur torrentes ejus in picem,
et humus ejus in sulphur ;
et erit terra ejus in picem ardentem.

KJV ¹⁰ It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

VULC ¹⁰ Nocte et die non extinguetur,
in sempiternum ascendet fumus ejus,
a generatione in generationem desolabitur,
in sæcula sæculorum non erit transiens per eam.

KJV ¹¹ But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.

VULC ¹¹ Et possidebunt illam onocrotalus et ericius ;
ibis et corvus habitabunt in ea :
et extendetur super eam mensura, ut redigatur ad nihilum,
et perpendiculum in desolationem.

KJV ¹² They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

VULC ¹² Nobiles ejus non erunt ibi ; regem potius invocabunt,
et omnes principes ejus erunt in nihilum.

KJV ¹³ And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

VULC ¹³ Et orientur in domibus ejus spinæ et urticæ,
et paliurus in munitionibus ejus ;
et erit cubile draconum,
et pascua struthionum.

KJV ¹⁴ The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

VULC ¹⁴ Et occurrent dæmonia onocentauris,
et pilosus clamabit alter ad alterum ;
ibi cubavit lamia,
et invenit sibi requiem.

KJV ¹⁵ There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

VULC ¹⁵ Ibi habuit foveam ericius, et enutrivit catulos,
et circumfodit, et fovit in umbra ejus ;
illuc congregati sunt milvi, alter ad alterum.

KJV ¹⁶ Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

VULC ¹⁶ Requirite diligenter in libro Domini, et legite :
Unum ex eis non defuit,
alter alterum non quæsivit ;
quia quod ex ore meo procedit, ille mandavit,
et spiritus ejus ipse congregavit ea.

KJV ¹⁷ And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

VULC ¹⁷ Et ipse misit eis sortem,
et manus ejus divisit eam illis in mensuram :
usque in æternum possidebunt eam ;
in generationem et generationem habitabunt in ea.]
