the Lord will punish with his sword^(B)—
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan^(C) the gliding serpent,^(D)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster^(E) of the sea.

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.

¹⁶ For with fire^(A) and with his sword^(B)
    the Lord will execute judgment^(C) on all people,
    and many will be those slain^(D) by the Lord.
