Isaiah 34:4-6
EasyEnglish Bible
4 The stars in the sky will slowly disappear.
The sky will close up like a book.
All the stars will fall,
like dry leaves that fall from a vine.
They will drop like figs from a fig tree,
when they become dry.
5 The Lord says,
‘My sword has finished its work in the skies.
Now it will come to punish Edom.
Those are the people that I have decided to destroy.’
6 The Lord's sword has blood all over it!
It is the blood of young sheep and goats.
It has the fat of meat on it.
It is the fat from sheep's kidneys.
Yes! The Lord is killing animals for a sacrifice in Bozrah.[a]
He will kill many people in Edom.

New International Version

and the heavens rolled up(B) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(C)
like withered(D) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(E) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(F)
the people I have totally destroyed.(G)
6 The sword(H) 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(I) in Bozrah(J)
and a great slaughter(K) in the land of Edom.
