The Lord’s sword will be covered with blood.
    It will be covered with fat.
It is the blood from lambs and goats.
    It is the fat from the kidneys of male sheep.
This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrah.
    He has decided there will be much killing in Edom.
The oxen will be killed.
    And the cattle and the strong bulls will be killed.
The land will be filled with their blood.
    The dirt will be covered with their fat.

The Lord has chosen a time for punishment.
    He has chosen a year when people must pay for the wrongs they did to Jerusalem.

The sword(A) 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(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.
