Isaiah 34:6–8

The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;

it is gorged with fat,

with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams.

For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Wild oxen shall fall with them,

and young steers with the mighty bulls.

Their land shall drink its fill of blood,

and their soil shall be gorged with fat.

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,

a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

The sword 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 in Bozrah

and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

And the wild oxen will fall with them,

the bull calves and the great bulls.

Their land will be drenched with blood,

and the dust will be soaked with fat.

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,

a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause.

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.

For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

The wild oxen will be struck down with them,

and young bulls with the mighty bulls.

Their land will be soaked with blood,

and their soil will be saturated with fat.

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,

a time of paying back Edom

for its hostility against Zion.

The sword of the Lord is drenched with blood

and covered with fat—

with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice.

Yes, the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah.

He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.

Even men as strong as wild oxen will die—

the young men alongside the veterans.

The land will be soaked with blood

and the soil enriched with fat.

For it is the day of the Lord’s revenge,

the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.

Yahweh has a sword;

it is full of blood.

It is covered with fat,

with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams,

for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah

and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

And wild oxen shall go down with them,

and steers with strong bulls.

And their land shall be drenched with blood,

and their soil shall be fattened with fat.

For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,

a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,

It is made fat with fatness,

And with the blood of lambs and goats,

With the fat of the kidneys of rams:

For the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah,

And a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

And the unicorns shall come down with them,

And the bullocks with the bulls;

And their land shall be soaked with blood,

And their dust made fat with fatness.

For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance,

And the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
