and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll—
so all their array will wither away,
    like a leaf drooping from a vine,
    like a fig shriveling from a fig tree.

For My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens.
See, it will come down upon Edom,
    upon the people I have devoted to judgment.

    the fat of kidneys of rams.

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
