Isaiah 34:2–8

²For the indignation of the Lord is against all nations,

And His fury against all their armies;

He has utterly destroyed them,

He has given them over to the ^cslaughter.

³Also their slain shall be thrown out;

^dTheir stench shall rise from their corpses,

And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

^4eAll the host of heaven shall be dissolved,

And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;

^fAll their host shall fall down

As the leaf falls from the vine,

And as ^gfruit falling from a fig tree.

⁵“For ^hMy sword shall be bathed in heaven;

Indeed it ⁱshall come down on Edom,

And on the people of My curse, for judgment.

⁶The ^jsword of the Lord is filled with blood,

It is made ¹overflowing with fatness,

With the blood of lambs and goats,

With the fat of the kidneys of rams.

For ^kthe Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

⁷The wild oxen shall come down with them,

And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;

Their land shall be soaked with blood,

And their dust ²saturated with fatness.”

⁸For it is the day of the Lord’s ^lvengeance,

The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
