The sword of the Lord is covered with blood. It is filled with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, and with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a killing in Bozrah, and much killing in the land of Edom. Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with strong ones. So their land will be filled with blood, and their dust will become rich with fat. For the Lord has a day when He will punish, a year when He pays back which will help 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.
