Isaiah 34:2-8
New King James Version
2 For the indignation of the Lord is against all nations,
And His fury against all their armies;
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to the (A)slaughter.
3 Also their slain shall be thrown out;
(B)Their stench shall rise from their corpses,
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 (C)All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;
(D)All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as (E)fruit falling from a fig tree.
5 “For (F)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it (G)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
6 The (H)sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is made [a]overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For (I)the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]saturated with fatness.”
8 For it is the day of the Lord’s (J)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
