The Lord has a sword sated with blood;
    it is greasy with fat,
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.
Wild oxen will also be struck down alongside them
    as will the bullocks with the bulls.
Their land will be drenched with blood
    and their soil will be greasy with fat.
For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of reprisal by Zion’s defenders.
