There is a sword that belongs to Adonai.
It is filled with blood, gorged with fat,
filled with the blood of lambs and goats,
gorged with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For Adonai has a sacrifice in Botzrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
The wild oxen will fall with them,
the young bulls with the strong, mature ones.
Their land will be drunk with blood
and their dust made greasy with fat.
For Adonai has a day of vengeance,
a year of requital for fighting with Tziyon.

the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(B) in Bozrah(C)
    and a great slaughter(D) in the land of Edom.
And the wild oxen(E) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.(F)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(G)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.

For the Lord has a day(H) of vengeance,(I)
    a year of retribution,(J) to uphold Zion’s cause.
