⁷ Be silent^(A) before the Sovereign Lord,
    for the day of the Lord^(B) is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;^(C)
    he has consecrated those he has invited.

⁹ Has not my inheritance become to me
    like a speckled bird of prey
    that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
    bring them to devour.^(A)

⁶ The sword^(A) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice^(B) in Bozrah^(C)
    and a great slaughter^(D) in the land of Edom.

¹⁰ But that day^(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance^(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour^(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.^(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice^(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.^(F)

⁶ They will all be left to the mountain birds of prey^(A)
    and to the wild animals;^(B)
the birds will feed on them all summer,
    the wild animals all winter.
