In context

3And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their ill savor shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood.

4And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll: and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig tree.

— Isaiah 34:5 —

7And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shall be soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat.
