5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom,upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;it is gorged with fat,with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Wild oxen shall fall with them,and young steers with the mighty bulls.Their land shall drink its fill of blood,and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch,and her soil into sulfur;her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste;none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it,the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. He shall stretch the line of confusion over it,and the plumb line of emptiness.
