4. And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.
5. For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment.
6. A sword [is] to Jehovah--it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7. And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.
8. (For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion's strife,)
9. And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land hath become burning pitch.
