I will drench the land with the flow
of your blood up to the mountains,
and the ravines will be full of your blood.[a]
When I extinguish you, I will cover the sky;
I will darken its stars.
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
and the moon will not shine.[b]
I will darken all the lights in the sky over you,
and I will darken your land,
declares the Sovereign Lord.

Even to the mountains;
And the riverbeds will be full of you.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God.
