Isaiah 34:2–8

²For the anger of Yahweh is against all the nations,

and his wrath is against all their host;

he has put them under a ban,

he has given them up for slaughter.

³And their slain shall be cast out;

as for^a their corpses, their stench shall go up.

And the mountains shall melt with^b their blood,

⁴and all the host of heaven shall rot.

And the skies shall roll up like a scroll,

and all their host shall wither

like the withering of a leaf from a vine,

or^c like the withering from a fig tree.

⁵When my sword is drenched in the heavens,

look! It will descend upon Edom,

and upon the people of my ban, for judgment.

⁶Yahweh has a sword;^d

it is full of blood.

It is covered with^e fat,

with^f the blood of lambs and goats,

with^g the fat of the kidneys of rams,

for Yahweh has a sacrifice^h in Bozrah

and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁷And wild oxen shall go down with them,

and steers with strong bulls.

And their land shall be drenched withⁱ blood,

and their soil shall be fattened with^j fat.

⁸For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,^k

a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
