The sun, moon and stars will dissolve.
    The sky will be rolled up like a scroll.
The stars will fall
    like dead leaves from a vine
    or dried-up figs from a fig tree.
The Lord’s sword in the sky is covered with blood.
    It will cut through Edom.
    He will destroy these people as an offering to the Lord.
The Lord’s sword will be covered with blood.
    It will be covered with fat.
It is the blood from lambs and goats.
    It is the fat from the kidneys of male sheep.
This is because the Lord decided there will be a sacrifice in Bozrah.
    He has decided there will be much killing in Edom.

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(A)
    and the heavens rolled up(B) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(C)
    like withered(D) leaves from the vine,
    like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

My sword(E) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
    see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(F)
    the people I have totally destroyed.(G)
The sword(H) 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(I) in Bozrah(J)
    and a great slaughter(K) in the land of Edom.
