The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
    it is made full with fatness,
and with the blood of lambs and goats,
    with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
    and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
The wild oxen shall also fall with them,
    and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
so their land shall be soaked with blood,
    and their dust become greasy with fat.

For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord,
    and the year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

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.
