The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is [a]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (A)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of (B)Edom.
(C)Wild oxen will also [b]fall with them
And (D)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be (E)soaked with blood,
And their dust [c]become greasy with fat.
For the Lord has a day of (F)vengeance,
A year of recompense for the [d]cause of Zion.
