5. When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,it will descend upon Edom for judgment,upon a people I have doomed for destruction.
6. The Lord has a sword covered with blood;it is soaked with fatfrom the blood of lambs and goats,from the kidney fat of rams,for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. Wild oxen will fall with them,steers with mighty bulls,and their land will be drenched with blood;its soil soaked with fat.
8. The Lord has a day of vengeance,a year of payback for Zion’s cause.
9. Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,its dust into sulfur,and its land will become burning pitch.
