3 Their slain will be thrown out,their dead bodies will stink;the mountains will be soaked with their blood.
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolvedand the heavens rolled up like a scroll;all the starry host will falllike withered leaves from the vine,like shrivelled figs from the fig-tree.
5 My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;see, it descends in judgment on Edom,the people I have totally destroyed.
6 The sword of the Lord is bathed in blood,it is covered with fat –the blood of lambs and goats,fat from the kidneys of rams.For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrahand a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 And the wild oxen will fall with them,the bull calves and the great bulls.Their land will be drenched with blood,and the dust will be soaked with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause.
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,her dust into burning sulphur;her land will become blazing pitch!
