Isaiah 34:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ The stars in the sky will slowly disappear.
    The sky will close up like a book.
All the stars will fall,
    like dry leaves that fall from a vine.
They will drop like figs from a fig tree,
    when they become dry.
⁵ The Lord says,
‘My sword has finished its work in the skies.
    Now it will come to punish Edom.
Those are the people that I have decided to destroy.’
⁶ The Lord's sword has blood all over it!
    It is the blood of young sheep and goats.
It has the fat of meat on it.
    It is the fat from sheep's kidneys.
Yes! The Lord is killing animals for a sacrifice in Bozrah.^[a]
    He will kill many people in Edom.
