Isaiah 34
34
End-Time Vision
1Draw near, O nations, to hear, and listen, O peoples! Let the earth hear, and all it contains, the world, and all its offspring!
2For Adonai is enraged at all the nations, and furious at all their armies. He will utterly destroy them. He will give them over to slaughter.
3So their slain will be thrown out, and the stench of their corpses will rise, and the hills will be drenched with their blood.
4Then all the host of heaven will dissolve, and the skies will be rolled up like a scroll— so all their array will wither away, like a leaf drooping from a vine, like a fig shriveling from a fig tree.
Seek the Scroll and Read
5For My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens. See, it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to judgment.
6The sword of Adonai is filled with blood, gorged with fat— the blood of lambs and goats, the fat of kidneys of rams. For Adonai has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7Wild oxen will go down with them, bull calves with mighty steers. So their land will be soaked with blood and their dust greasy with fat.
8For Adonai has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the hostility against Zion.
9Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into brimstone, and its land will become burning tar.
10It will not be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will lay waste—forever and ever none will pass through it.
11But pelican and porcupine will have it, owl and raven will dwell in it. He will stretch a line of chaos over it and stones of desolation.
12As for its nobles, there are none there to call it a kingdom, and all its princes will come to nothing.
13Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It will be a haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.
14Wildcats will meet with wolves, the goat-demon will cry to its kind— yes, the night monster will settle there and find itself a resting place.
15A tree snake will nest and lay eggs there, hatch and gather them under its shadow. Surely, hawks are gathered there, each one with her mate.
16Seek from the scroll of Adonai, and read! Not one of them will be missing; none will lack its mate. For His mouth commanded it, and His Ruach gathered them.
17He cast the lot for them, and His hand divided it out to them with the line. They will possess it forever, and dwell in it from generation to generation.

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.
