²⁶ Put on sackcloth,^(A) my people,
    and roll in ashes;^(B)
mourn with bitter wailing^(C)
    as for an only son,^(D)
for suddenly the destroyer^(E)
    will come upon us.

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.

²⁷ Kill all her young bulls;^(A)
    let them go down to the slaughter!^(B)
Woe to them! For their day^(C) has come,
    the time^(D) for them to be punished.
