The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is [a]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (A)Bozrah
And a great slaughter in the land of (B)Edom.
(C)Wild oxen will also [b]fall with them
And (D)young bulls with strong ones;
Thus their land will be (E)soaked with blood,
And their dust [c]become greasy with fat.

10 For (A)that day belongs to the Lord [a]God of hosts,
A day of (B)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His foes;
And the (C)sword will devour and be satiated
And [b]drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a (D)slaughter for the Lord [c]God of hosts,
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
