⁵ My sword^(A) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,^(B)
    the people I have totally destroyed.^(C)
6 The sword^(D) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
    it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
    fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice^(E) in Bozrah^(F)
    and a great slaughter^(G) in the land of Edom.
⁷ And the wild oxen^(H) will fall with them,
    the bull calves and the great bulls.^(I)
Their land will be drenched with blood,^(J)
    and the dust will be soaked with fat.

⁸ For the Lord has a day^(K) of vengeance,^(L)
    a year of retribution,^(M) to uphold Zion’s cause.

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(E)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(F)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(G) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(H) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(I)
their blood spattered my garments,^(J)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(K)
    the year for me to redeem had come.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, Daughter Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz.^(A)
But to you also the cup^(B) will be passed;
    you will be drunk and stripped naked.^(C)

“For three sins of Edom,^(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword^(B)
    and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
    and his fury flamed unchecked,^(C)

¹² I will send fire on Teman^(A)
    that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.^(B)”

¹⁰ Because of the violence^(A) against your brother Jacob,^(B)
    you will be covered with shame;
    you will be destroyed forever.^(C)

¹⁵ “The day of the Lord is near^(A)
    for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
    your deeds^(B) will return upon your own head.
