A Come ye Heythen and heare, take
hede ye people. Herken thou erth ∧
all þt; is therin: þu; round c&obar;passe and
all that groweth there vpon: for
the Lorde is angry &wt; all people, and his displeasure
is kindled agaynst all the multitude
of them, he hath destroied them, ∧ deliuered
them to the slaughter. So þt; their slayne
shalbe cast out, and their bodyes stynck: that
euen the very hylles shalbe wet &wt; the bloud
of th&ebar;. All the starres of heauen shall waist,
and the heu&ebar; shall folde together lyke a roll,
and all the starres therof shall fall, lyke as þe;
leaues fall from the vynes and fyggetrees.
B For my sweard shalbe bathed in heau&ebar;, and
shall immediatly come downe in iudgment
vpon Idumea, and vpon the people which
I haue cursed for my vengeaunce.
And the Lordes swearde shalbe full of
bloude, ∧ be rusty &wt; the fatnes and bloude of
lambes and goates, with the fatnesse of the
kidneys of wethers. For the Lord shall kill
a great offering in Bozra, ∧ a great slaughter
in the lande of Idumea. There shall the
vnicornes fall &wt; them, and the bulles &wt; the
gyauntes: and their lande shalbe thorowely
soaked with bloude, ∧ their grounde corrupt
with fatnes. Unto the also, O Zion, shall come
the daye of þe; vengea&ubar;ce of God, and the
yeare when thyne awne iudgmentes shalbe
recompensed. And his floudes shalbe turned
to pytch, and his earth to brimstone: ∧ there
with shall the land be kindled, so that it shall
not be quenched daye ner nyght: but smoke
euermore, and so forth to lye waste.
C And no
man shall go thorowe it for euer. But pellicanes,
storkes, great oules and rauens shall
haue it in possession, and dwell therin.
For God shall spreede out the lyne of desolation
vpon it, ∧ weye it with the stones
of emptines. When kynges are called vpon
there shalbe none, ∧ all pr&ibar;ces shalbe awaye.
Thornes shall growe in their palaces, nettels
and thistles in their strongholdes, that
the dragons may haue their pleasure therin,
and that they maye be a court for estryches.
There shall straunge visures and monstruous
bestes mete one another, and the wylde
kepe company together. There shall the lamia
lye, ∧ haue her lodging. There shall the
oule make her nest, buylde, be there at home
and bring forth his yonge ones.
D There shall
the kytes come together, echone to his lyke.
Seke thorow the scripture of the Lorde
and reade it. There shall none of these thynges
be lefte out, there shall not one, ner soche
lyke, fayle. For what his mouth commaundeth
that same doeth his sprete gather together,
or fulfylleth. He hath cast þe; lot for th&ebar;,
and to those beastes hath his h&abar;des deuyded
the line: therfore those shall possesse the enherytaunce
from generatyon to generatyon,
and dwell therin for euer.
