sword-- (Jer 46:10). Or else, knife for sacrifice for God does not here appear as a warrior with His sword, but as one about to sacrifice victims doomed to slaughter [VITRINGA]. (Eze 39:17).
bathed--rather "intoxicated," namely, with anger (so Deu 32:42). "In heaven" implies the place where God's purpose of wrath is formed in antithesis to its "coming down" in the next clause.
Idumea--originally extending from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea; afterwards they obtained possession of the country east of Moab, of which Bozrah was capital. Petra or Selah, called Joktheel (Kg2 14:7), was capital of South Edom (see on Isa 16:1). David subjugated Edom (Sa2 8:13-14). Under Jehoram they regained independence (Ch2 21:8). Under Amaziah they were again subdued, and Selah taken (Kg2 14:7). When Judah was captive in Babylon, Edom, in every way, insulted over her fallen mistress, killed many of those Jews whom the Chaldeans had left, and hence was held guilty of fratricide by God (Esau, their ancestor, having been brother to Jacob): this was the cause of the denunciations of the prophets against Edom Isa 63:1, &c.; Jer 49:7; Eze 25:12-14; Eze 35:3-15; Joe 3:19; Amo 1:11-12; Oba 1:8, Oba 1:10, Oba 1:12-18; Mal 1:3-4). Nebuchadnezzar humbled Idumea accordingly (Jer 25:15-21).
of my curse--that is, doomed to it.
to judgment--that is, to execute it. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven - A sword is an instrument of vengeance, and is often so used in the Scriptures, because it was often employed in capital punishments (see the note at Isa 27:1). This passage bas given much perplexity to commentators, on account of the apparent want of meaning of the expression that the sword would be bathed in heaven. Lowth reads it:
For my sword is made bare in the heavens;
Following in this the Chaldee which reads תתגלי tı̂thgallı̂y, 'shall be revealed.' But there is no authority from manuscripts for this change in the Hebrew text. The Vulgate renders it, Quoniam inebriatus est in coelo gladius meuse - 'My sword is intoxicated in heaven.' The Septuagint renders it in the same way, Ἐμεθύσθη ἡ μάχαιρά μον ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ Emethusthē hē machaira mou en tō ouranō; and the Syriac and Arabic in the same manner. The Hebrew word רוּתה rivetâh, from רוה râvâh, means properly to drink to the full; to be satisfied, or sated with drink; and then to be full or satiated with intoxicating liquor, to be drunk. It is applied to the sword, as satiated or made drunk with blood, in Jer 46:10 :
And the sword shall devour,
And it shall be satiate, and made drunk with their blood.
And thus in Deu 32:42, a similar figure is used respecting arrows, the instruments also of war and vengeance:
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood;
And my sword shall devour flesh.
A similar figure is often used in Oriental writers, where the sword is represented as glutted, satiated, or made drunk with blood (see Rosenmuller on Deu 32:42). Thus Bohaddinus, in the lift of Saladin, in describing a battle in which there was a great slaughter, says, 'The swords drank of their blood until they were intoxicated.' The idea here is, however, not that the sword of the Lord was made drunk with blood in heaven, but that it was intoxicated, or made furious with wrath; it was excited as an intoxicated man is who is under ungovernable passions; it was in heaven that the wrath commenced, and the sword of divine justice rushed forth as if intoxicated, to destroy all before it. There are few figures, even in Isaiah, that are more bold than this.
It shall come down upon Idumea - (see the Analysis of the chapter for the situation of Idumea, and for the causes why it was to be devoted to destruction).
Upon the people of my curse - The people devoted to destruction. |

| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| If we bear this in mind, we shall not be surprised that the prophet gives the following reason for the passing away of the present heavens. "For my sword has become intoxicated in the heaven; behold, it comes down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban to judgment. The sword of Jehovah fills itself with blood, is fattened with fat, with blood of lambs and he-goats, with kidney-fat of rams; for Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. And buffaloes fall with them, and bullocks together with bulls; and their land become intoxicated with blood, and their dust fattened with fat." Just as in chapter 63 Jehovah is represented as a treader of the wine-press, and the nations as the grapes; so here He is represented as offering sacrifice, and the nations as the animals offered (zebhach: cf., Zep 1:7; Jer 46:10); Eze 39:17.: all three passages founded upon this). Jehovah does not appear here in person as judge, as He does there, but His sword appears; just as in Gen 3:24, the "sword which turned every way" is mentioned as an independent power standing by the side of the cherub. The sword is His executioner, which has no sooner drunk deeply of wrath in heaven, i.e., in the immediate sphere of the Deity (rivvethâh, an intensive form of the kal, like pittēăch, Isa 48:8; Ewald, 120, d), than it comes down in wild intoxication upon Edom, the people of the ban of Jehovah, i.e., the people upon whom He has laid the ban, and there, as His instrument of punishment, fills itself with blood, and fattens itself with fat. הדּשׁנה is the hothpaal = התדּשׁנה, with the ת of the preformative syllable assimilated (compare הזּכּוּ in Isa 1:16, and אדּמּה in Isa 14:14). The penultimate has the tone, the nâh being treated as in the plural forms of the future. The dropping of the dagesh in the שׁ eht ni hse is connected with this. The reading מחלב, in Isa 34:6, is an error that has been handed down in modern copies (in opposition to both codices and ancient editions); for חלב (primary form, chilb) is the only form met with in the Old Testament. The lambs, he-goats, and rams, represent the Edomitish nation, which is compared to these smaller sacrificial animals. Edom and Bozrah are also placed side by side in Isa 63:1. The latter was one of the chief cities of the Edomites (Gen 36:33; Amo 1:12; Jer 49:13, Jer 49:22) - not the Bozrah in Auranitis (Haurân), however, which is well known in church history, but Bozrah in the mountains of Edom, upon the same site as the village of Buzaire (i.e., Minor Bozrah), which is still surrounded by its ruins. In contrast with the three names of the smaller animals in Isa 34:6, the three names of oxen in Isa 34:7 represent the lords of Edom. They also will fall, smitten by the sword (yâredū: cf., Jer 50:27; Jer 51:40; also Jer 48:15). The feast of the sword is so abundant, that even the earth and the dust of the land of Edom are satiated with blood and fat. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Bathed - In the blood of these people. Heaven - Where God dwells; in which this is said to be done, because it was there decreed and appointed. Idumea - Upon the Edomites, who, tho' they were nearly related to the Israelites, yet were their implacable enemies. But these are named for all the enemies of God's church, of whom they were an eminent type. The people - Whom I have cursed, and devoted to utter destruction, as the word properly signifies. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| For my sword shall be bathed in heaven "For my sword is made bare in the heavens" - There seems to be some impropriety in this, according to the present reading: "My sword is made drunken, or is bathed in the heavens; "which forestalls, and expresses not in its proper place, what belongs to the next verse: for the sword of Jehovah was not to be bathed or glutted with blood in the heavens, but in Botsra and the land of Edom. In the heavens it was only prepared for slaughter. To remedy this, Archbishop Secker proposes to read, for בשמים bashshamayim, בדמם bedamim; referring to Jer 46:10. But even this is premature, and not in its proper place. The Chaldee, for רותה rivvethah, has תתגלי tithgalli, shall be revealed or disclosed: perhaps he read תראה teraeh or נראתה nirathah. Whatever reading, different I presume from the present, he might find in his copy, I follow the sense which he has given of it. |
15 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] unto me; Take [03947] the wine [03196] cup [03563] of this fury [02534] at my hand [03027], and cause all the nations [01471], to whom I send [07971] thee, to drink [08248] it.
16 And they shall drink [08354], and be moved [01607], and be mad [01984], because [06440] of the sword [02719] that I will send [07971] among them.
17 Then took [03947] I the cup [03563] at the LORD'S [03068] hand [03027], and made all the nations [01471] to drink [08248], unto whom the LORD [03068] had sent [07971] me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem [03389], and the cities [05892] of Judah [03063], and the kings [04428] thereof, and the princes [08269] thereof, to make [05414] them a desolation [02723], an astonishment [08047], an hissing [08322], and a curse [07045]; as it is this day [03117];
19 Pharaoh [06547] king [04428] of Egypt [04714], and his servants [05650], and his princes [08269], and all his people [05971];
20 And all the mingled [06153] people, and all the kings [04428] of the land [0776] of Uz [05780], and all the kings [04428] of the land [0776] of the Philistines [06430], and Ashkelon [0831], and Azzah [05804], and Ekron [06138], and the remnant [07611] of Ashdod [0795],
21 Edom [0123], and Moab [04124], and the children [01121] of Ammon [05983],
3 And I hated [08130] Esau [06215], and laid [07760] his mountains [02022] and his heritage [05159] waste [08077] for the dragons [08568] of the wilderness [04057].
4 Whereas Edom [0123] saith [0559], We are impoverished [07567], but we will return [07725] and build [01129] the desolate places [02723]; thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], They shall build [01129], but I will throw down [02040]; and they shall call [07121] them, The border [01366] of wickedness [07564], and, The people [05971] against whom the LORD [03068] hath indignation [02194] for [05704] ever [05769].
12 But thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on the day [03117] of thy brother [0251] in the day [03117] that he became a stranger [05235]; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced [08055] over the children [01121] of Judah [03063] in the day [03117] of their destruction [06]; neither shouldest thou have spoken [06310] proudly [01431] in the day [03117] of distress [06869].
13 Thou shouldest not have entered [0935] into the gate [08179] of my people [05971] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343]; yea, thou shouldest not have looked [07200] on their affliction [07451] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343], nor have laid [07971] hands on their substance [02428] in the day [03117] of their calamity [0343];
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood [05975] in the crossway [06563], to cut off [03772] those of his that did escape [06412]; neither shouldest thou have delivered up [05462] those of his that did remain [08300] in the day [03117] of distress [06869].
15 For the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is near [07138] upon all the heathen [01471]: as thou hast done [06213], it shall be done [06213] unto thee: thy reward [01576] shall return [07725] upon thine own head [07218].
16 For as ye have drunk [08354] upon my holy [06944] mountain [02022], so shall all the heathen [01471] drink [08354] continually [08548], yea, they shall drink [08354], and they shall swallow down [03886], and they shall be as though they had not [03808] been.
17 But upon mount [02022] Zion [06726] shall be deliverance [06413], and there shall be holiness [06944]; and the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall possess [03423] their possessions [04180].
18 And the house [01004] of Jacob [03290] shall be a fire [0784], and the house [01004] of Joseph [03130] a flame [03852], and the house [01004] of Esau [06215] for stubble [07179], and they shall kindle [01814] in them, and devour [0398] them; and there shall not be any remaining [08300] of the house [01004] of Esau [06215]; for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696] it.
10 For thy violence [02555] against thy brother [0251] Jacob [03290] shame [0955] shall cover [03680] thee, and thou shalt be cut off [03772] for ever [05769].
8 Shall I not in that day [03117], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], even destroy [06] the wise [02450] men out of Edom [0123], and understanding [08394] out of the mount [02022] of Esau [06215]?
11 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; For three [07969] transgressions [06588] of Edom [0123], and for four [0702], I will not turn away [07725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue [07291] his brother [0251] with the sword [02719], and did cast off [07843] all pity [07356], and his anger [0639] did tear [02963] perpetually [05703], and he kept [08104] his wrath [05678] for ever [05331]:
12 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Teman [08487], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Bozrah [01224].
19 Egypt [04714] shall be a desolation [08077], and Edom [0123] shall be a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057], for the violence [02555] against the children [01121] of Judah [03063], because they have shed [08210] innocent [05355] blood [01818] in their land [0776].
3 And say [0559] unto it, Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Behold, O mount [02022] Seir [08165], I am against thee, and I will stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] against thee, and I will make [05414] thee most [04923] desolate [08077].
4 I will lay [07760] thy cities [05892] waste [02723], and thou shalt be desolate [08077], and thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual [05769] hatred [0342], and hast shed [05064] the blood of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] by the force [03027] of the sword [02719] in the time [06256] of their calamity [0343], in the time [06256] that their iniquity [05771] had an end [07093]:
6 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will prepare [06213] thee unto blood [01818], and blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee: sith [0518] thou hast not hated [08130] blood [01818], even blood [01818] shall pursue [07291] thee.
7 Thus will I make [05414] mount [02022] Seir [08165] most [08077] desolate [08077], and cut off [03772] from it him that passeth out [05674] and him that returneth [07725].
8 And I will fill [04390] his mountains [02022] with his slain [02491] men: in thy hills [01389], and in thy valleys [01516], and in all thy rivers [0650], shall they fall [05307] that are slain [02491] with the sword [02719].
9 I will make [05414] thee perpetual [05769] desolations [08077], and thy cities [05892] shall not return [07725] [03427]: and ye shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
10 Because thou hast said [0559], These two [08147] nations [01471] and these two [08147] countries [0776] shall be mine, and we will possess [03423] it; whereas the LORD [03068] was there:
11 Therefore, as I live [02416], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], I will even do [06213] according to thine anger [0639], and according to thine envy [07068] which thou hast used [06213] out of thy hatred [08135] against them; and I will make myself known [03045] among them, when I have judged [08199] thee.
12 And thou shalt know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068], and that I have heard [08085] all thy blasphemies [05007] which thou hast spoken [0559] against the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], They are laid desolate [08074] [08077], they are given [05414] us to consume [0402].
13 Thus with your mouth [06310] ye have boasted [01431] against me, and have multiplied [06280] your words [01697] against me: I have heard [08085] them.
14 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; When the whole earth [0776] rejoiceth [08055], I will make [06213] thee desolate [08077].
15 As thou didst rejoice [08057] at the inheritance [05159] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478], because it was desolate [08074], so will I do [06213] unto thee: thou shalt be desolate [08077], O mount [02022] Seir [08165], and all Idumea [0123], even all of it: and they shall know [03045] that I am the LORD [03068].
12 Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because that Edom [0123] hath dealt [06213] against the house [01004] of Judah [03063] by taking [05358] vengeance [05359], and hath greatly [0816] offended [0816], and revenged [05358] himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; I will also stretch out [05186] mine hand [03027] upon Edom [0123], and will cut off [03772] man [0120] and beast [0929] from it; and I will make [05414] it desolate [02723] from Teman [08487]; and they of Dedan [01719] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719].
14 And I will lay [05414] my vengeance [05360] upon Edom [0123] by the hand [03027] of my people [05971] Israel [03478]: and they shall do [06213] in Edom [0123] according to mine anger [0639] and according to my fury [02534]; and they shall know [03045] my vengeance [05360], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
7 Concerning Edom [0123], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]; Is wisdom [02451] no more in Teman [08487]? is counsel [06098] perished [06] from the prudent [0995]? is their wisdom [02451] vanished [05628]?
1 Who is this that cometh [0935] from Edom [0123], with dyed [02556] garments [0899] from Bozrah [01224]? this that is glorious [01921] in his apparel [03830], travelling [06808] in the greatness [07230] of his strength [03581]? I that speak [01696] in righteousness [06666], mighty [07227] to save [03467].
7 He slew [05221] of Edom [0123] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417] ten [06235] thousand [0505], and took [08610] Selah [05554] by war [04421], and called [07121] the name [08034] of it Joktheel [03371] unto this day [03117].
8 In his days [03117] the Edomites [0123] revolted [06586] from under the dominion [03027] of Judah [03063], and made [04427] themselves a king [04428].
13 And David [01732] gat [06213] him a name [08034] when he returned [07725] from smiting [05221] of the Syrians [0758] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417], being eighteen [08083] [06240] thousand [0505] men.
14 And he put [07760] garrisons [05333] in Edom [0123]; throughout all Edom [0123] put [07760] he garrisons [05333], and all they of Edom [0123] became David's [01732] servants [05650]. And the LORD [03068] preserved [03467] David [01732] whithersoever he went [01980].
1 Send [07971] ye the lamb [03733] to the ruler [04910] of the land [0776] from Sela [05554] to the wilderness [04057], unto the mount [02022] of the daughter [01323] of Zion [06726].
7 He slew [05221] of Edom [0123] in the valley [01516] of salt [04417] ten [06235] thousand [0505], and took [08610] Selah [05554] by war [04421], and called [07121] the name [08034] of it Joktheel [03371] unto this day [03117].
42 I will make mine arrows [02671] drunk [07937] with blood [01818], and my sword [02719] shall devour [0398] flesh [01320]; and that with the blood [01818] of the slain [02491] and of the captives [07633], from the beginning [07218] of revenges [06546] upon the enemy [0341].
17 And, thou son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Speak [0559] unto every feathered [03671] fowl [06833], and to every beast [02416] of the field [07704], Assemble [06908] yourselves, and come [0935]; gather [0622] yourselves on every side [05439] to my sacrifice [02077] that I do sacrifice [02076] for you, even a great [01419] sacrifice [02077] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], that ye may eat [0398] flesh [01320], and drink [08354] blood [01818].
10 For this is the day [03117] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], a day [03117] of vengeance [05360], that he may avenge [05358] him of his adversaries [06862]: and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398], and it shall be satiate [07646] and made drunk [07301] with their blood [01818]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the north [06828] country [0776] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].
42 I will make mine arrows [02671] drunk [07937] with blood [01818], and my sword [02719] shall devour [0398] flesh [01320]; and that with the blood [01818] of the slain [02491] and of the captives [07633], from the beginning [07218] of revenges [06546] upon the enemy [0341].
42 I will make mine arrows [02671] drunk [07937] with blood [01818], and my sword [02719] shall devour [0398] flesh [01320]; and that with the blood [01818] of the slain [02491] and of the captives [07633], from the beginning [07218] of revenges [06546] upon the enemy [0341].
10 For this is the day [03117] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], a day [03117] of vengeance [05360], that he may avenge [05358] him of his adversaries [06862]: and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398], and it shall be satiate [07646] and made drunk [07301] with their blood [01818]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the north [06828] country [0776] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].
1 In that day [03117] the LORD [03068] with his sore [07186] and great [01419] and strong [02389] sword [02719] shall punish [06485] leviathan [03882] the piercing [01281] serpent [05175], even leviathan [03882] that crooked [06129] serpent [05175]; and he shall slay [02026] the dragon [08577] that is in the sea [03220].
1 Now these are the generations [08435] of Esau [06215], who is Edom [0123].
1 Come near [07126], ye nations [01471], to hear [08085]; and hearken [07181], ye people [03816]: let the earth [0776] hear [08085], and all that is therein [04393]; the world [08398], and all things that come forth [06631] of it.
2 For the indignation [07110] of the LORD [03068] is upon all nations [01471], and his fury [02534] upon all their armies [06635]: he hath utterly destroyed [02763] them, he hath delivered [05414] them to the slaughter [02874].
3 Their slain [02491] also shall be cast out [07993], and their stink [0889] shall come up [05927] out of their carcases [06297], and the mountains [02022] shall be melted [04549] with their blood [01818].
4 And all the host [06635] of heaven [08064] shall be dissolved [04743], and the heavens [08064] shall be rolled together [01556] as a scroll [05612]: and all their host [06635] shall fall down [05034], as the leaf [05929] falleth off [05034] from the vine [01612], and as a falling [05034] fig from the fig tree [08384].
5 For my sword [02719] shall be bathed [07301] in heaven [08064]: behold, it shall come down [03381] upon Idumea [0123], and upon the people [05971] of my curse [02764], to judgment [04941].
6 The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the LORD [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123].
7 And the unicorns [07214] shall come down [03381] with them, and the bullocks [06499] with the bulls [047]; and their land [0776] shall be soaked [07301] with blood [01818], and their dust [06083] made fat [01878] with fatness [02459].
8 For it is the day [03117] of the LORD'S [03068] vengeance [05359], and the year [08141] of recompences [07966] for the controversy [07379] of Zion [06726].
15 Moab [04124] is spoiled [07703], and gone up [05927] out of her cities [05892], and his chosen [04005] young men [0970] are gone down [03381] to the slaughter [02874], saith [05002] the King [04428], whose name [08034] is the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
40 I will bring them down [03381] like lambs [03733] to the slaughter [02873], like rams [0352] with he goats [06260].
27 Slay [02717] all her bullocks [06499]; let them go down [03381] to the slaughter [02874]: woe [01945] unto them! for their day [03117] is come [0935], the time [06256] of their visitation [06486].
7 And the unicorns [07214] shall come down [03381] with them, and the bullocks [06499] with the bulls [047]; and their land [0776] shall be soaked [07301] with blood [01818], and their dust [06083] made fat [01878] with fatness [02459].
6 The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the LORD [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123].
22 Behold, he shall come up [05927] and fly [01675] as the eagle [05404], and spread [06566] his wings [03671] over Bozrah [01224]: and at that day [03117] shall the heart [03820] of the mighty men [01368] of Edom [0123] be as the heart [03820] of a woman [0802] in her pangs [06887].
13 For I have sworn [07650] by myself, saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that Bozrah [01224] shall become a desolation [08047], a reproach [02781], a waste [02721], and a curse [07045]; and all the cities [05892] thereof shall be perpetual [05769] wastes [02723].
12 But I will send [07971] a fire [0784] upon Teman [08487], which shall devour [0398] the palaces [0759] of Bozrah [01224].
33 And Bela [01106] died [04191], and Jobab [03103] the son [01121] of Zerah [02226] of Bozrah [01224] reigned [04427] in his stead.
1 Who is this that cometh [0935] from Edom [0123], with dyed [02556] garments [0899] from Bozrah [01224]? this that is glorious [01921] in his apparel [03830], travelling [06808] in the greatness [07230] of his strength [03581]? I that speak [01696] in righteousness [06666], mighty [07227] to save [03467].
6 The sword [02719] of the LORD [03068] is filled [04390] with blood [01818], it is made fat [01878] with fatness [02459], and with the blood [01818] of lambs [03733] and goats [06260], with the fat [02459] of the kidneys [03629] of rams [0352]: for the LORD [03068] hath a sacrifice [02077] in Bozrah [01224], and a great [01419] slaughter [02874] in the land [0776] of Idumea [0123].
14 I will ascend [05927] above the heights [01116] of the clouds [05645]; I will be like [01819] the most High [05945].
16 Wash [07364] you, make you clean [02135]; put away [05493] the evil [07455] of your doings [04611] from before [05048] mine eyes [05869]; cease [02308] to do evil [07489];
8 Yea, thou heardest [08085] not; yea, thou knewest [03045] not; yea, from that time that thine ear [0241] was not opened [06605]: for I knew [03045] that thou wouldest deal very [0898] treacherously [0898], and wast called [07121] a transgressor [06586] from the womb [0990].
24 So he drove out [01644] the man [0120]; and he placed [07931] at the east [06924] of the garden [01588] of Eden [05731] Cherubims [03742], and a flaming [03858] sword [02719] which turned every way [02015], to keep [08104] the way [01870] of the tree [06086] of life [02416].
17 And, thou son [01121] of man [0120], thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Speak [0559] unto every feathered [03671] fowl [06833], and to every beast [02416] of the field [07704], Assemble [06908] yourselves, and come [0935]; gather [0622] yourselves on every side [05439] to my sacrifice [02077] that I do sacrifice [02076] for you, even a great [01419] sacrifice [02077] upon the mountains [02022] of Israel [03478], that ye may eat [0398] flesh [01320], and drink [08354] blood [01818].
10 For this is the day [03117] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], a day [03117] of vengeance [05360], that he may avenge [05358] him of his adversaries [06862]: and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398], and it shall be satiate [07646] and made drunk [07301] with their blood [01818]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the north [06828] country [0776] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].
7 Hold thy peace [02013] at the presence [06440] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]: for the day [03117] of the LORD [03068] is at hand [07138]: for the LORD [03068] hath prepared [03559] a sacrifice [02077], he hath bid [06942] his guests [07121].
10 For this is the day [03117] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635], a day [03117] of vengeance [05360], that he may avenge [05358] him of his adversaries [06862]: and the sword [02719] shall devour [0398], and it shall be satiate [07646] and made drunk [07301] with their blood [01818]: for the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] of hosts [06635] hath a sacrifice [02077] in the north [06828] country [0776] by the river [05104] Euphrates [06578].
