2 For the lord is enraged against the nations.His fury is against all their armies.He will completely destroy them,dooming them to slaughter.
3 Their dead will be left unburied,and the stench of rotting bodies will fill the land.The mountains will flow with their blood.
4 The heavens above will melt awayand disappear like a rolled-up scroll.The stars will fall from the skylike withered leaves from a grapevine,or shriveled figs from a fig tree.
5 And when my sword has finished its work in the heavens,it will fall upon Edom,the nation I have marked for destruction.
6 The sword of the lord is drenched with bloodand covered with fat—with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice.Yes, the lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah.He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.
7 Even men as strong as wild oxen will die—the young men alongside the veterans.The land will be soaked with bloodand the soil enriched with fat.
8 For it is the day of the lord’s revenge,the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.
