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
1Come near, you nations, to hear!
Listen, you peoples.
Let the earth and all it contains hear,
the world, and everything that comes from it.
2For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations,
and angry with all their armies.
He has utterly destroyed them.
He has given them over for slaughter.
3Their slain will also be cast out,
and the stench of their dead bodies will come up.
The mountains will melt in their blood.
4All of the army of the sky will be dissolved.
The sky will be rolled up like a scroll,
and all its armies will fade away,
as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
5For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky.
Behold, it will come down on Edom,
and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
6Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood.
It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams;
for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7The wild oxen will come down with them,
and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
and their land will be drunken with blood,
and their dust made greasy with fat.
8For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9Its streams will be turned into pitch,
its dust into sulfur,
and its land will become burning pitch.
10It won’t be quenched night or day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation, it will lie waste.
No one will pass through it forever and ever.
11But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
He will stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there;
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13Thorns will come up in its palaces,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses;
and it will be a habitation of jackals,
a court for ostriches.
14The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,
and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.
Yes, the night creature#34:14 literally, lilith, which could also be a night demon or night monster shall settle there,
and shall find herself a place of rest.
15The arrow snake will make her nest there,
and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.
Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
16Search in the book of Yahweh, and read:
not one of these will be missing.
None will lack her mate.
For my mouth has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17He has cast the lot for them,
and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever.
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
