The Lord has a sword sated with blood, greasy with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams’ kidneys; For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Who is this that comes from Edom, in crimsoned garments, from Bozrah? Who is this, glorious in his apparel, striding in the greatness of his strength? “It is I, I who announce vindication, mighty to save.”
By myself I have sworn—oracle of the Lord—Bozrah shall become an object of horror, a disgrace, a desolation, and a curse. Bozrah and all its cities shall become ruins forever.
Therefore, listen to the strategy the Lord devised for Edom; The plans he has drawn up against the inhabitants of Teman: They shall be dragged away, even the smallest of the flock; their pasture shall be aghast because of them.
Look! like an eagle he soars aloft, and spreads his wings over Bozrah; On that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors become like the heart of a woman in labor. Against Damascus.
therefore thus says the Lord God: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off from it human being and beast alike. I will turn it into ruins from Teman to Dedan; they shall fall by the sword.
The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the Lord, and a herald has been sent among the nations: “Rise up, so we may go to war against it!”
