Isaiah 34:4-6
International Standard Version
4 The valleys will be split,
all the stars[a] in the heavens will fall down,[b]
and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll.
All their starry host will fade away
like leaves withering on a vine,
or fruit withering on a fig tree.
5 For my sword will be seen[c] in the heavens.
Look! It descends in judgment on Edom,
on the people I have doomed to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword bathed in blood;
it’s covered[d] with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
and with fat from the kidneys of rams.”
Judgment on Bozrah and Edom
“For the Lord holds a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(F)
the people I have totally destroyed.(G)

the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
