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. 8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of requital for the cause of Zion. 9 Edom’s streams shall be changed into pitch, its soil into sulfur, and its land shall become burning pitch; 10 Night and day it shall not be quenched, its smoke shall rise forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste, never again shall anyone pass through it. Isaiah 34:5-10, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
