7 The wild oxen will ·be killed [L fall with them], and the ·cattle [or young bulls] and the strong ·bulls [L ones; C perhaps referring to Edom’s leaders]. The land will ·be filled with [drink its fill of] their blood, and the dirt will be covered with their fat.
8 The Lord has chosen a time for punishment. He has chosen a year ·when people must pay [of retribution/recompense] for the ·wrongs they did to [or the cause of] ·Jerusalem [L Zion; C the location of the Temple]. 9 Edom’s rivers will be like ·hot tar [pitch]. Its ·dirt [dust] will be like ·burning sulfur [T brimstone]. Its land will be like burning ·tar [pitch].
