5 For My sword was soaked in the heavens, || Behold, it comes down on Edom, || On the people of My curse for judgment. 6 A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, || It has been made fat with fatness, || With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, || For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, || And a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7 And reems have come down with them, || And bullocks with bulls, || And their land has been soaked from blood, || And their dust is made fat from fatness. 8 (For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, || A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife), 9 And her streams have been turned to pitch, || And her dust to brimstone, || And her land has become burning pitch. 10 She is not quenched by night and by day, || Her smoke goes up for all time, || She is desolate from generation to generation, || Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
