it will then come down on Edom
and on the people I have set apart for destruction.
It drips with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,

The Lord will stretch out a measuring line
and a plumb line over her
for her destruction and chaos.
and all her princes will come to nothing.
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the screech owl will stay there
and will find a resting place for herself.
she will lay and hatch her eggs
and will gather her brood under her shadow.
Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there,
each with its mate.

none will be lacking its mate,
because He has ordered it by my
and He will gather them by His Spirit.
His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.
They will possess it forever;
they will dwell in it from generation to generation.
