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
Judgment on the Nations
1Come near, nations, to hear;
and peoples, listen attentively!
Let the earth hear, and that which fills it;
the world and all its offspring.
2For the anger of Yahweh is against all the nations,
and his wrath is against all their armies;
he has put them under a ban,
he has given them up for slaughter.
3And their slain shall be cast out;
as for#Or “and” their corpses, their stench shall go up.
And the mountains shall melt with#Or “from” their blood,
4and all the host of heaven shall rot.
And the skies shall roll up like a scroll,
and all their host shall wither
like the withering of a leaf from a vine,
or#Or “and” like the withering from a fig tree.
5When my sword is drenched in the heavens,
look! It will descend upon Edom,
and upon the people of my ban, for judgment.
6Yahweh has a sword;#Literally “A sword for Yahweh”
it is full of blood.
It is covered with#Or “from” fat,
with#Or “from” the blood of lambs and goats,
with#Or “from” the fat of the kidneys of rams,
for Yahweh has a sacrifice#Literally “a sacrifice for Yahweh” in Bozrah
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7And wild oxen shall go down with them,
and steers with strong bulls.
And their land shall be drenched with#Or “from” blood,
and their soil shall be fattened with#Or “from” fat.
8For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,#Literally “a day of vengeance for Yahweh”
a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
9And its streams shall be changed to pitch and its soil to sulfur,
and its land shall become like burning pitch.
10Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall be in ruins;
forever and ever there will be no one who passes through her.
11But#Or “And” the large bird and the hedgehog shall take possession of it,
and the owl and the raven shall live in it.
And he shall stretch the measuring line of confusion out over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12Its nobles—but no kingdom is there—shall call,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13And thorns shall go up her citadel fortress,
weeds#Hebrew “weed” and thistle plants#Hebrew “thistle plant” in her fortresses;
and it shall be the settlement of jackals,
green grass for the daughters of an ostrich.
14And desert creatures shall meet with hyenas,
and a goat-demon shall call to his neighbor;
surely there Lilith#Hebrew transliteration; possibly a proper name for a Mesopotamian night-demon shall repose,
and she shall find a resting place for herself.
15There the owl shall nest and lay
and hatch and care for her chicks in her shadow;
surely there the birds of prey shall be gathered,
each one with her mate.
16Seek from the book of Yahweh and read;#Literally “call”
none of these shall be missing;
none shall miss her mate.
For my#The Dead Sea Scroll has “his” mouth is the one that#Literally “he” has commanded,
and his spirit is the one that#Literally “he” has gathered them.
17And he is the one that#Literally “he” has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has apportioned it to them with the measuring line;
they shall take possession of it forever,
they shall live in it from generation to generation.#Literally “to generation and generation”
