Isaiah 34:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶The Lord has a sword bathed in blood;
it’s covered^[a] with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
and with fat from the kidneys of rams.”

Judgment on Bozrah and Edom

“For the Lord holds a sacrifice in Bozrah,
    and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
⁷Wild oxen will fall together with them—
    young steers and mighty bulls.
Their land will be drenched^[b] with blood,
    and their soil will be swollen with fat.
⁸For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of recompense for Zion’s cause.
