Yahweh has a sword;[a]

it is full of blood.
    It is covered with[b] fat,
with[c] the blood of lambs and goats,
    with[d] the fat of the kidneys of rams,
for Yahweh has a sacrifice[e] in Bozrah
    and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
And wild oxen shall go down with them,
    and steers with strong bulls.
And their land shall be drenched with[f] blood,
    and their soil shall be fattened with[g] fat.
For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,[h]
    a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
