The Lord’s sword in the sky is covered with blood.
    It will cut through Edom
    and destroy those people as an offering to the Lord.
The Lord’s sword will be covered with blood;
    it will be covered with fat,
with the blood from lambs and goats,
    with the fat from the kidneys of sheep.
This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrah
    and much killing in Edom.
The oxen will be killed,
    and the cattle and the strong bulls.
The land will be filled with their blood,
    and the dirt will be covered with their fat.

My sword(A) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(B)
    the people I have totally destroyed.(C)
The sword(D) 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(E) in Bozrah(F)
    and a great slaughter(G) in the land of Edom.
And the wild oxen(H) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.(I)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(J)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.
