⁴² I will make my arrows red with blood, my sword will be feasting on flesh, with the blood of the dead and the prisoners, of the long-haired heads of my haters.

²³ I will send a rain of troubles on them, my arrows will be showered on them.

¹⁰ But that day is the day of the Lord, the Lord of armies, a day of punishment when he will take payment from his haters: and the sword will have all its desire, drinking their blood in full measure: for there is an offering to the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the north country by the river Euphrates.

²¹ And I will send to all my mountains for a sword against him, says the Lord: every man's sword will be against his brother.

²² And I will take up my cause against him with disease and with blood; and I will send down on him and on his forces and on the peoples who are with him, an overflowing shower and great ice-drops, fire, and burning.

⁶ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

⁷ And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

⁸ I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.

⁵ The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

¹⁴ Give the news in Migdol, make it public in Noph: say, Take up your positions and make yourselves ready; for on every side of you the sword has made destruction.

¹⁴ Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;

¹⁰ And it will be, that when you say all these words to the people, then they will say to you, Why has the Lord done all this evil against us? what is our wrongdoing and what is our sin which we have done against the Lord our God?

⁶ The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.

⁷ And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.

⁸ For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.

²³ So that your foot may be red with blood, and the tongues of your dogs with the same.

⁵ Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's haters; because of them the peoples are falling under you.

²⁴ Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
