Isaiah 34:2-8
2For the Lord’s 1anger is against all the nations, And His wrath against all their armies. He has 23utterly destroyed them, He has turned them over to 4slaughter.3So their slain will be 5thrown out, And their corpses 6will give off their 7stench, And the mountains will 8be drenched with their 9blood.4And 10all the heavenly 11lights will 12wear away, And the 13sky will be rolled up like a scroll; All its 14lights will also wither away As a leaf withers from the vine, Or as one withers from the fig tree.5For 15My sword has drunk its fill in heaven; Behold it shall descend for judgment upon 16Edom, And upon the people whom I have 17designated for destruction.6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in 18Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of 19Edom.720Wild oxen will also 21fall with them And 22young bulls with strong ones; So their land will be 23soaked with blood, And their dust 24become greasy with fat.8For the Lord has a day of 25vengeance, A year of retribution for the 26cause of Zion.
