6 The sword of the Lordis covered with bloodfrom lambs and goats,together with fatfrom kidneys of rams.This is because the Lordwill slaughter many peopleand make a sacrifice of themin the city of Bozrahand everywhere elsein Edom.
7 Edom's leaders are wild oxen.They are powerful bulls,but they will diewith the others.Their country will be soakedwith their blood,and its soil made fertilewith their fat.
8 The Lord has chosenthe year and the day,when he will take revengeand come to Zion's defence.
9 Edom's streams will turn into tarand its soil into sulphur—then the whole countrywill go up in flames.
10 It will burn night and dayand never stop smoking.Edom will be a desert,generation after generation;no one will ever travelthrough that land.
11 Owls, hawks, and wild animalswill make it their home.God will leave it in ruins,merely a pile of rocks.
12 Edom will be called“Kingdom of Nothing”.Its rulers will also be nothing.
