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.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 34
34
1Come near, you nations, to hear. And listen, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world and all its offspring.
2For the displeasure of יהוה is against all the nations,#See footnote at Jer. 30:11 and His wrath against all their divisions. He shall put them under the ban, He shall give them over to the slaughter,
3and their slain be thrown out, and their stench rise from their corpses. And mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4And all the host of the heavens shall rot away. And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, and all their host fade like a leaf fading on the vine, and like the fading one of a fig tree.
5“For My sword shall be drenched in the heavens. Look, it comes down on Eḏom, and on the people of My curse, for judgment.
6“The sword of יהוה shall be filled with blood, it shall be made overflowing with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For יהוה has a slaughtering in Botsrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Eḏom.
7“And wild oxen shall come down with them, and young bulls with bulls. And their land shall be drenched with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.”
8For it is the day of the vengeance of יהוה, the year of recompense for the cause of Tsiyon.
9And its streams shall be turned into tar, and its dust into sulphur, and its land shall become burning tar,
10that is not quenched night or day, its smoke going up forever. From generation to generation it lies waste, no one passes through it forever and ever,
11so that the pelican and the porcupine possess it, also the owl and the raven dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it the line of formlessness and stones of emptiness.
12Its caves, with no one in them, is called a reign, but all its rulers have vanished.
13And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and brambles in its strongholds. And it shall be a home for jackals, a courtyard for ostriches.
14And the wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the jackals, and the shaggy goat call to its companion. The night creature shall also settle there, and shall find for herself a place of rest.
15The arrow snake shall nest there, and lay eggs and hatch, and gather them under her shadow. There too the vultures shall gather, each with its mate.
16Search from the book of יהוה, and read: not one of these shall be missing, not one shall be without a mate, for He has commanded my mouth. And His Spirit shall gather them.
17And He shall cast the lot for them, and His hand shall divide it among them with a measuring line – they possess it forever, from generation to generation they dwell in it.
