Isaiah 34

Isaiah 34
1¶ Come near, ye Gentiles, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples; let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world and all things that come forth of it.
2For the indignation of the Lord is upon all the Gentiles, and his fury upon the entire army of them; he shall destroy them and deliver them to the slaughter.
3Their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4And all the host of heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falls off from the vine and as the leaf falls from the fig tree.
5For in the heavens my sword shall become drunk; behold, it shall come down in judgment upon Idumea or Edom and upon the people of my anathema.
6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood; it is made fat with fatness and with the blood of lambs and goats with the fat of the kidneys of rams, for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7And the unicorns shall fall with them, and the bulls with the calves; and their land shall become drunk with blood, and their dust shall be greased with fatness.
8For it shall be the day of the Lord’s vengeance and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
9¶ And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into sulphur, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10It shall not be quenched night nor day; its smoke shall go up for ever; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it; and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion and the level of desolation.
12They shall call the princes thereof, princes without a kingdom; and all her great ones shall be nothing.
13And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of dragons and a court for young owls.
14The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl shall have his seat there and find for himself a place of rest.
15There shall the great owl make his nest and conserve his eggs and hatch his young and gather them under his wings; there shall the vultures also be gathered, each one with his mate.
16Seek ye out that which is written in the book of the Lord and read; if one of these is lacking, none is missing with his mate, for his mouth has commanded it, and his same Spirit has gathered them.
17And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it unto them by line; therefore they shall have it as an inheritance for ever; from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.

Isaiah 34
34
God’s Wrath against Nations
1Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
Let the earth and all that is in it hear, and the world and all that comes forth from it.
2For the Lord is angry at all the nations,
And His wrath is against all their armies;
He has #Lit put them under the ban.utterly doomed them,
He has given them over to slaughter.
3So their slain will be thrown out,
And the stench of their corpses will rise,
And the mountains will flow with their blood.
4All the host of heaven will be dissolved,
And the skies will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts [the stars and the planets] will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
And as a fig withers from the fig tree.
5For My sword is satiated [with blood] in heaven;
Indeed, it will come down for judgment on Edom
And on the people whom I have doomed for destruction.
6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood [from sacrifices],
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 (Edom’s capital city)
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7Wild oxen will also fall with them
And the young bulls with the strong bulls;
And their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dust made greasy with fat.
8For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
A year of retribution for the cause of Zion.
9The streams [of Edom] will be turned into pitch,
And its dust into brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10The burning will not be quenched night or day;
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will lie in ruins;
No one will ever again pass through it.
11But the pelican and the porcupine will take possession of it;
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
And He will stretch over it (Edom) the measuring line of desolation
And the plumb line of emptiness.
12Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.
13Thorns will come up in its fortified palaces,
Nettles and brambles in its fortified cities;
It will be a haunt for jackals,
An abode for ostriches.
14The creatures of the desert will encounter jackals
And the #Or demon satyr.hairy goat will call to its kind;
Indeed, #Thought by some to be a female demon associated with the night.Lilith (night demon) will settle there
And find herself a place of rest.
15There the arrow snake will make her nest and lay her eggs,
And hatch them and gather her young under her protection;
Indeed, the birds of prey will be gathered there [to breed],
Every one with its own kind.
16Seek from the book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these [creatures] will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17The Lord has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided and apportioned #Lit it to them.Edom to the wild beasts by measuring-line.
They will possess it forever;
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
