Isaiah 34:6
New English Translation

6 The Lord’s sword is dripping with blood,
it is covered[a] with fat;
it drips[b] with the blood of young rams and goats
and is covered[c] with the fat of rams’ kidneys.
For the Lord is holding a sacrifice[d] in Bozrah,[e]
a bloody[f] slaughter in the land of Edom.
