⁴⁰ “I will bring them down
    like lambs to the slaughter,
    like rams and goats to be sacrificed.

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.

²² But for your sake we are killed every day;
    we are being slaughtered like sheep.

²⁰ But the wicked will die.
    The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field—
    they will disappear like smoke.
