6  The Lord has a ⁿsword; it is sated with blood;

it is gorged with fat,

with the blood of lambs and goats,

with the fat of the kidneys of rams.

For the Lord has a ^osacrifice in Bozrah,

a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

10  That day is the ^oday of the Lord God of hosts,

a ^pday of vengeance,

to avenge himself on his foes.

The sword shall devour and be sated

and drink its fill of their blood.

For the Lord God of hosts holds a ^qsacrifice

in the north country by the river Euphrates.

7  ⁱBe silent before the Lord God!

For the ^jday of the Lord is near;

^kthe Lord has prepared a sacrifice

and ^lconsecrated his guests.

8  And on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice—

“I will punish the officials and the king’s sons

and all who array themselves in foreign attire.
