Isaiah 34:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And all the host of heaven [a]shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be folded like a book: and all their hosts shall fall as the leaf falleth from the vine, and as it falleth from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be [b]drunken in the heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, even upon the people of [c]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 [d]lambs and the goats, with the fat of the kidneys of the rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in [e]Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

New International Version
Isaiah 34:4-6
New International Version
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(A)
and the heavens rolled up(B) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(C)
like withered(D) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(E) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(F)
the people I have totally destroyed.(G)
6 The sword(H) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(I) in Bozrah(J)
and a great slaughter(K) in the land of Edom.
