⁵ 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)
6 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.

¹¹ The desert owl^[a](A) and screech owl^[b] will possess it;
    the great owl^[c] and the raven^(B) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom^(C)
    the measuring line of chaos^(D)
    and the plumb line^(E) of desolation.

¹¹ “Because you rejoice and are glad,
    you who pillage my inheritance,^(A)
because you frolic like a heifer^(B) threshing grain
    and neigh like stallions,
¹² your mother will be greatly ashamed;
    she who gave you birth will be disgraced.^(C)
She will be the least of the nations—
    a wilderness, a dry land, a desert.^(D)
13 Because of the Lord’s anger she will not be inhabited
    but will be completely desolate.^(E)
All who pass Babylon will be appalled;^(F)
    they will scoff^(G) because of all her wounds.^(H)
