Isaiah 34:2-8

Christian Standard Bible

² The Lord is angry with all the nations,
furious with all their armies.^(A)
He will set them apart for destruction,^(B)
giving them over to slaughter.
³ Their slain will be thrown out,
and the stench of their corpses will rise;^(C)
the mountains will flow^[a] with their blood.^(D)
4 All^[b] the stars in the sky^(E) will dissolve.
The sky will roll up like a scroll,^(F)
and its stars will all wither
as leaves wither on the vine,
and foliage on the fig tree.^(G)

⁵ When my sword has drunk its fill^[c](H) in the heavens,
it will then come down on Edom^(I)
and on the people I have set apart for destruction.
⁶ The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.
It drips with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.^(J)
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,^(K)
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
⁷ The wild oxen will be struck^[d] down with them,
and young bulls with the mighty bulls.
Their land will be soaked with^[e] blood,
and their soil will be saturated with fat.
⁸ For the Lord has a day of vengeance,^(L)
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
