5. When my sword is covered ⌊with blood⌋ in the heavens,it will fall on Edomand on the people I’ve claimed for destruction.
6. The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.It is covered with fat,with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of rams’ kidneys.The Lord will receive a sacrifice in Bozrah,a huge slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. Wild oxen will be killed with them,young bulls along with rams.Their land will be drenched with blood.Their dust will be covered with fat.
8. The Lord will have a day of vengeance,a year of revenge in defense of Zion.
9. Edom’s streams will be turned to tar.Its soil will be turned to burning sulfur.Its land will become blazing tar.
10. They will not be extinguished day or night,and smoke will always go up from them.Edom will lie in ruins for generations.No one will ever travel through it.
11. Pelicans and herons will take possession of the land.Owls and crows will live there.He will stretch the measuring line of chaosand the plumb line of destruction over it.
12. There are no nobles to rule a kingdom.All of its princes have disappeared.
