Isaiah 34:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴The 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.

⁵For my sword will be seen^[c] in the heavens.
    Look! It descends in judgment on Edom,
        on the people I have doomed to destruction.
⁶The 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.
