Yeshayah 34
34
1Come near, ye Goyim, to hear; and pay heed, ye peoples; let ha'aretz hear, and all that is therein; the tevel (world), and all things that come forth of it.
2For the ketzef Hashem (wrath of Hashem) is upon kol HaGoyim, and His chemah (fury, wrath) upon all their tz'va; He hath utterly destroyed them, He hath delivered them to the tevach (slaughter).
3Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stench shall go up out of their pegarim (corpses), and the harim shall be drenched with their dahm.
4And kol Tz'va HaShomayim (all the host of heaven) shall be dissolved, and the Shomayim shall be rolled up like a sefer; and all their tz'va shall fall, like the aleh (leaf) falleth from the gefen, like that falling from the te'enah (fig tree).
5For My cherev shall be satiated in Shomayim; hinei, it shall come down upon Edom, and shall descend on the Am (people) of My Cherem (ban of destruction) in mishpat.
6The Cherev Hashem (Sword of Hashem) is filled with dahm, it is gorged with chelev, and with the dahm of lambs and goats, with the chelev of the kidneys of rams; for Hashem hath a zevach in Botzrah, and a tevach gadol in Eretz Edom.
7And the re'emim (wild oxen) shall fall with them, and the bull calves with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with dahm, and their aphar (dust) enriched with chelev.
8For it is the Yom Nakam L'Hashem (Day of Vengeance unto Hashem), and the Shnat Shillumim (Year of Retributions) for the cause of Tziyon.
9And the streams thereof#34:9 i.e., of Edom shall be turned into zefet (pitch, tar), and the aphar (dust) thereof into gofrit (burning sulfur), and the land thereof shall become burning zefet (pitch, tar).
10It shall not be quenched lailah v'yomam; the ashan (smoke) thereof shall go up l'olam (forever); from dor to dor it shall lie desolate; none shall pass through it l'netzach netzachim.
11But the desert owl and the screech owl shall possess it; even the yanshuf (great owl) and the orev (raven) shall dwell in it; and He shall stretch out upon it the measuring line of tohu, and the plumbline of vohu.#34:11 See Gn 1:2
12For the nobles thereof there shall be nothing to call a maluchah (kingdom) and all her sarim shall come to naught.
13And sirim (thorns) shall come up in her citadels, nettles and brambles in the strongholds thereof; and it shall become the habitation of jackals, and the abode for banot ya'anah (ostriches).
14The tziyyim (martens) shall also encounter iyyim (wild cats), and a sa'ir (wild goat) calls to its companion, and lilit (night creature) dwells there and finds for itself a mano'ach (place of rest).
15There shall the kipoz (bittern) nest, and lay eggs, and hatch and care for young under her tzel; there shall the dayyot (kites, vultures) also be gathered, every one with its mate.
16Search ye out in the Sefer Hashem, and read; no one of these creatures shall fail, none shall lack her mate; for My mouth hath commanded, and His Ruach hath gathered them.
17And He hath cast the goral (lot) for them, and His Yad hath made the land assignment unto them by measuring line; they shall possess it ad olam, from dor to dor shall they 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”
