Context — Judgment on Edom
3Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.
4All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.
5When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.
6The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. 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, a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.Cross References

So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.” |
| 5 | Ezekiel 25:12–14 | This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah, and in so doing incurred grievous guilt, therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom and cut off from it both man and beast. I will make it a wasteland, and from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword. I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to My anger and wrath. Then they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’ |

Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him. If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted? But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more. Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.” For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too. For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.” I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!” “For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men. The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD. “Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds. As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there. Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?” Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them. At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea. Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor. |

Isaiah 34:5 Summary
[This verse, Isaiah 34:5, tells us about God's powerful judgment, where His 'sword' will come down on the people of Edom because of their wickedness. It's a reminder that God is just and will punish those who do evil, as seen in Psalm 37:28. At the same time, it points to a broader picture of God's final judgment, where all nations will be held accountable, much like the scenes described in Revelation 20:11-15. This should motivate us to live in obedience to God and to trust in His mercy and love, as expressed in John 3:16.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for God's sword to 'drink its fill' in the heavens?
This phrase is a metaphor for God's judgment and wrath being satisfied, as seen in Isaiah 34:5, and is reminiscent of the Lord's declaration in Deuteronomy 32:41-42, where He says His sword will be sated with the blood of the wicked.
Why is Edom specifically mentioned as a target of God's judgment in this verse?
Edom, or Idumea, was a nation known for its hostility towards Israel, and its destruction is prophesied in various parts of the Bible, including Isaiah 34:5, Ezekiel 25:12-14, and Obadiah 1:1-21, highlighting God's justice and judgment on those who oppose His people.
Is this verse only referring to a historical event, or does it have a broader application?
While the immediate context of Isaiah 34:5 refers to the judgment of Edom, the language and imagery used also point to a larger, eschatological fulfillment, as seen in Revelation 19:11-21, where the Lord returns to judge the nations and avenge His people.
How does this verse relate to God's character, particularly His mercy and love?
This verse, in the context of the entire Bible, highlights the balance between God's justice and mercy, as seen in Psalm 103:8-10, where it is written that the Lord is slow to anger and abounding in love, yet He will by no means clear the guilty, demonstrating that His love does not preclude His righteous judgment.
Reflection Questions
- What are the ways in which I see God's judgment and mercy balanced in my life and in the world around me?
- How does the imagery of God's sword 'drinking its fill' challenge or comfort me in my understanding of God's character?
- In what ways can I apply the lessons of God's judgment on Edom to my own life, particularly in how I treat others and respond to God's commands?
- What does this verse teach me about the scope and certainty of God's judgment, and how should this impact my daily walk with God?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 34:5
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven,.... That is, the sword of the Lord, as it is called in the next verse Isaiah 34:6, and it is he that is speaking; it designs the vengeance of the Lord, the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 34:5
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 34:5
Shall be bathed in the blood of these people; Heb. is or shall be made drunk. In heaven; either, 1. In my church, which is called heaven, 12:1, in and against which these enemies are said to be gathered together. Or, 2. In the highest heaven, where God dwells; in which this is said to be done, because it was there decreed and appointed to be done. Upon Idumea; upon the Edomites, who, though they were nearly related to the Israelites, and were circumcised as well as they; yet were their most inveterate and implacable enemies, watching all opportunities, and being ready to join with all those that attempted, to destroy them; whereof we have many intimations and instances in Scripture. But these are not named exclusively, but rather comprehensively, and synecdochically, for all the enemies of God’ s church, of whom they were a considerable part, and an eminent type. Upon the people of my curse; to whom my curse belongs; or, whom I have cursed, and devoted to utter destruction, as this Hebrew word properly signifies.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 34:5
Isaiah 34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.Ver. 5. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven.] Heb., Drunk, or drenched - i.e., In coelo decretum est ut inebrietur; whencesoever the sword comes, it is bathed in heaven, hath its commission from God (Jeremiah 47:6-7; see Jeremiah 46:9), and as a drunken man reeleth to and fro, so the sword, when once in commission, roveth up and down, and rideth circuit usually. Behold, it shall come down upon Idumea,] i.e., Upon the Edomites, who were assidui et acerrimi hostes Iudaeorum, bitter enemies to the Jews, though both nations came from Isaac, both were circumcised; so are now the Romish Edomites to the Churches of Christ, with whose blood they are red all over. The Hebrews understand here by Idumea, Rome.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 34:5
(5) My sword shall be bathed in heaven . . .—Literally, hath drunk to the full. The words find an echo in Deuteronomy 32:41-42, and Jeremiah 46:10. There, however, the sword is soaked, or made drunk with blood. Here it is “bathed in heaven,” and this seems to require a different meaning. We read in Greek poets, of the “dippings” by which steel was tempered. May not the “bathing” of Isaiah have a like significance? It shall come down upon Idumea . . .—Better, for Edom, . . . here and in the next verse. No reason can be assigned for this exceptional introduction of the Greek form.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 34:5
Verse 5. For my sword shall be bathed in heaven - "For my sword is made bare in the heavens"] There seems to be some impropriety in this, according to the present reading: "My sword is made drunken, or is bathed in the heavens;" which forestalls, and expresses not in its proper place, what belongs to the next verse: for the sword of JEHOVAH was not to be bathed or glutted with blood in the heavens, but in Botsra and the land of Edom. In the heavens it was only prepared for slaughter. To remedy this, Archbishop Secker proposes to read, for בשמים bashshamayim, בדמם bedamim; referring to Jeremiah 46:10. But even this is premature, and not in its proper place. The Chaldee, for רותה rivvethah, has תתגלי tithgalli, shall be revealed or disclosed: perhaps he read תראה teraeh or נראתה nirathah. Whatever reading, different I presume from the present, he might find in his copy, I follow the sense which he has given of it.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 34:5
5–8. The slaughter of the inhabitants of Edom.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 34:5
For my sword shall be bathed in heaven - A sword is an instrument of vengeance, and is often so used in the Scriptures, because it was often employed in capital punishments (see the note at Isaiah 27:1).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 34:5
5-7. For my sword — Poetical instrument of vengeance, and its use an ethical necessity against conscious wrong doers.
