3 Their bodies will be thrown outside.The stink will rise from the bodies,and the blood will flow down the mountains.
4 The sun, moon, and stars will dissolve,and the sky will be rolled up like a scroll.The stars will falllike dead leaves from a vineor dried-up figs from a fig tree.
5 The Lord’s sword in the sky is covered with blood.It will cut through Edomand destroy those people as an offering to the Lord.
6 The Lord’s sword will be covered with blood;it will be covered with fat,with the blood from lambs and goats,with the fat from the kidneys of sheep.This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrahand much killing in Edom.
7 The oxen will be killed,and the cattle and the strong bulls.The land will be filled with their blood,and the dirt will be covered with their fat.
8 The Lord has chosen a time for punishment.He has chosen a year when people must pay for the wrongs they did to Jerusalem.
9 Edom’s rivers will be like hot tar.Its dirt will be like burning sulfur.Its land will be like burning tar.
