^{2 Ref} For wrath `is' to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath given them to slaughter.

^{3 Ref} And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from their blood.

^{4 Ref} And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig-tree.

^{5 Ref} For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment.

^{6 Ref} A sword `is' to Jehovah -- it hath been full of blood, It hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice `is' to Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

^{7 Ref} And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their dust from fatness is made fat.

^{8 Ref} (For a day of vengeance `is' to Jehovah, A year of recompences for Zion's strife,)
