Isaiah 34
34
God’s Wrath against Nations
1Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!
Let the earth and #34:1 Lit its fullnessall it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2For the Lord’s anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has #34:2 Lit put under the banutterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to slaughter.
3So their slain will be thrown out,
And their corpses #34:3 Lit their stench will go upwill give off their stench,
And the mountains will #34:3 Lit dissolvebe drenched with their blood.
4And all the heavenly #34:4 Lit host; i.e., sun, stars, etc.lights will #34:4 Lit rotwear away,
And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its #34:4 Lit host; i.e., sun, stars, etc.lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5For My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon Edom,
And upon the people whom I have designated for destruction.
6The sword of the Lord is filled with 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,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7Wild oxen will also #34:7 Lit go downfall with them
And young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dust #34:7 Lit made fatbecome greasy with fat.
8For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
A year of retribution for the #34:8 Or controversycause of Zion.
9 # 34:9 I.e., Edom’s Its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10It will not be extinguished night or day;
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will be desolate;
None will pass through it forever and ever.
11But #34:11 Or owl; or jackdawpelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And #34:11 Or great horned owlowl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the line of #34:11 Or formlessnessdesolation
And the #34:11 Lit stones of voidplumb line of emptiness.
12Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its officials will be nothing.
13Thorns will come up in its fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14The desert creatures will meet with the #34:14 Or howling creatureswolves,
The #34:14 Or goat demongoat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the #34:14 Or a demon; Heb Lilithnight-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its #34:15 Lit shadeprotection.
Yes, the #34:15 Or kiteshawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16Seek from the book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For #34:16 As in DSS; MT MyHis mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17He has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by the measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Isaiah 34
34
1 #
Is 63.1-6; Jer 49.7-22; Ezek 25.12-14; 35; Amos 1.11-12; Obad; Mal 1.2-5. Draw near, O nations, to hear,
and hearken, O peoples!
Let the earth listen, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host,
he has doomed them, has given them over for slaughter.
3Their slain shall be cast out,
and the stench of their corpses shall rise;
the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 #
Rev 6.13-14. All the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom,
upon the people I have doomed.
6The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood,
it is gorged 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.
7Wild oxen shall fall with them,
and young steers with the mighty bulls.
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
and their soil made rich with fat.
8For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 #
Rev 19.3. And the streams of Edom#34.9 Heb her streams shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into brimstone;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up for ever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plummet of chaos over#34.11 Heb lacks over its nobles.
12They shall name it No Kingdom There,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of jackals,
an abode for ostriches.
14And wild beasts shall meet with hyenas,
the satyr shall cry to his fellow;
yea, there shall the night hag alight,
and find for herself a resting place.
15There shall the owl nest and lay
and hatch and gather her young in her shadow;
yea, there shall the kites be gathered,
each one with her mate.
16Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17He has cast the lot for them,
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it for ever,
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
