Isaiah 34:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 For my sword shall be [a]drunken in the heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, even upon the people of [b]my curse to judgment.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood: it is made fat with the fat and with the blood of the [c]lambs and the goats, with the fat of the kidneys of the rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in [d]Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 And the [e]unicorn shall come down with them, and the heifers with the bulls, and their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
