Isaiah 34:5-10 ▼

5 For My sword is satiated [with blood] in heaven; Indeed, it will come down for judgment on Edom And on the people whom I have doomed for destruction.

6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood [from sacrifices], 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 (Edom’s capital city) And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7 Wild oxen will also fall with them And the young bulls with the strong bulls; And their land will be soaked with blood, And their dust made greasy with fat.

8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, A year of retribution for the cause of Zion.

9 The streams [of Edom] will be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone, And its land will become burning pitch.

10 The burning will not be quenched night or day; Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will lie in ruins; No one will ever again pass through it.
