And wild oxen shall go down with them,
    and steers with strong bulls.
And their land shall be drenched with[a] blood,
    and their soil shall be fattened with[b] fat.

    a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
And its streams shall be changed to pitch and its soil to sulfur,
    and its land shall become like burning pitch.
