His sword will be red with blood.
    It will be covered with fat.
The blood will flow like the blood
    of lambs and goats being sacrificed.
The fat will be like the fat
    taken from the kidneys of rams.
That’s because the Lord will offer a sacrifice
    in the city of Bozrah.
    He will kill many people in the land of Edom.
The people and their leaders will be killed
    like wild oxen and young bulls.
Their land will be wet with their blood.
    The dust will be covered with their fat.

That’s because the Lord has set aside a day to pay Edom back.
    He has set aside a year to pay them back. He will pay them back for what they did to Zion.

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.
