5. For My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens. See, it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to judgment.
6. The sword of Adonai is filled with blood, gorged with fat— the blood of lambs and goats, the fat of kidneys of rams. For Adonai has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. Wild oxen will go down with them, bull calves with mighty steers. So their land will be soaked with blood and their dust greasy with fat.
8. For Adonai has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the hostility against Zion.
9. Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into brimstone, and its land will become burning tar.
10. It will not be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will lay waste—forever and ever none will pass through it.
11. But pelican and porcupine will have it, owl and raven will dwell in it. He will stretch a line of chaos over it and stones of desolation.
