6 The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.

It drips with fat,

with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams.x

For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,y

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7 The wild oxen will be struckG down with them,

and young bulls with the mighty bulls.

Their land will be soaked withH blood,

and their soil will be saturated with fat.

8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,z

a time of paying back Edom

for its hostility against Zion.
