Isaiah 34:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 34:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 The Lord has a sword sated with blood,
greasy with fat,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of rams’ kidneys;
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.(A)
7 Wild oxen shall be struck down with fatlings,
and bullocks with bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
and their soil greasy with fat.
8 [a]For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of requital for the cause of Zion.(B)
Footnotes
- 34:8–17 The extreme hostility against Edom in this passage is reflected in a number of other prophetic texts from the seventh and sixth centuries B.C. (cf. e.g., 63:1–6; Jer 49:7–22; Ez 25:12–14). The animus was probably prompted by Edomite infiltration of the southern territories of Judah, especially after the Babylonian conquest of Judah.

Isaiah 34:6-8
New International Version
6 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.
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)
and the dust will be soaked with fat.
