The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.
It drips with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.(A)
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,(B)
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
The wild oxen will be struck[a] down with them,
and young bulls with the mighty bulls.
Their land will be soaked with[b] blood,
and their soil will be saturated with fat.
For the Lord has a day of vengeance,(C)
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
