5*The Lord has prepared his sword in heaven, and now it will strike Edom, those people whom he has condemned to destruction. 6*His sword will be covered with their blood and fat, like the blood and fat of lambs and goats that are sacrificed. The Lord will offer this sacrifice in the city of Bozrah; he will make this a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
