“It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation!
    It is I, the Lord, who has the power to save!”

⁵ And when my sword has finished its work in the heavens,
    it will fall upon Edom,
    the nation I have marked for destruction.
⁶ The sword of the Lord is drenched with blood
    and covered with fat—
with the blood of lambs and goats,
    with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice.
Yes, the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah.
    He will make a mighty slaughter in Edom.

⁷ O Lord, remember what the Edomites did
    on the day the armies of Babylon captured Jerusalem.
“Destroy it!” they yelled.
    “Level it to the ground!”

² Why are your clothes so red,
    as if you have been treading out grapes?

³ “I have been treading the winepress alone;
    no one was there to help me.
In my anger I have trampled my enemies
    as if they were grapes.
In my fury I have trampled my foes.
    Their blood has stained my clothes.
