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.
7 He will kill their wild oxen
    and their young bulls.[b]
Blood will pour over Edom's land.

It will be a time when he punishes Zion's enemies,
    because they have attacked his people.

6 The sword(A) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—

For the Lord has a sacrifice(B) in Bozrah(C)
    and a great slaughter(D) in the land of Edom.
7 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)

    a year of retribution,(J) to uphold Zion’s cause.
