3 Their slain shall be cast out, their corpses shall send up a stench; the mountains shall run with their blood, 4 All the host of heaven shall rot; the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll. All their host shall wither away, as the leaf wilts on the vine, or as the fig withers on the tree. 5 When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, it shall come down upon Edom for judgment, upon a people under my ban. 6 The LORD has a sword sated with blood, greasy with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams’ kidneys; For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7 Wild oxen shall be struck down with fatlings, and bullocks with bulls; Their land shall be soaked with blood, and their soil greasy with fat.
