All the stars in the sky will vanish.
    The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll.
All the stars in the sky will fall like dried-up leaves from a vine.
    They will drop like wrinkled figs from a fig tree.

The sword of the Lord will finish its deadly work in the sky.
    Then it will come down to strike Edom.
    He will totally destroy that nation.
His sword will be red with blood.
    It will be covered with fat.
The blood will flow like the blood
    of lambs and goats being sacrificed.
The fat will be like the fat
    taken from the kidneys of rams.
That’s because the Lord will offer a sacrifice
    in the city of Bozrah.
    He will kill many people in the land of 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.
