⁴¹ when I sharpen my flashing sword^(A)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance^(B) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.^(C)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,^(D)
    while my sword devours flesh:^(E)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”

¹⁰ But that day^(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance^(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour^(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.^(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice^(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.^(F)

“For three sins of Edom,^(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword^(B)
    and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
    and his fury flamed unchecked,^(C)
12 I will send fire on Teman^(D)
    that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.^(E)”

⁶ Therefore a curse^(A) consumes the earth;
    its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,^(B)
    and very few are left.
