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.

Isaiah 34
34
God’s Wrath against Nations
1Come near, you nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!
Let the earth and all that is in it hear, and the world and all that comes forth from it.
2For the Lord is angry at all the nations,
And His wrath is against all their armies;
He has #Lit put them under the ban.utterly doomed them,
He has given them over to slaughter.
3So their slain will be thrown out,
And the stench of their corpses will rise,
And the mountains will flow with their blood.
4All the host of heaven will be dissolved,
And the skies will be rolled up like a scroll;
All their hosts [the stars and the planets] will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
And as a fig withers from the fig tree.
5For My sword is satiated [with blood] in heaven;
Indeed, it will come down for judgment on Edom
And on the people whom I have doomed for destruction.
6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood [from sacrifices],
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 (Edom’s capital city)
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7Wild oxen will also fall with them
And the young bulls with the strong bulls;
And their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dust made greasy with fat.
8For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
A year of retribution for the cause of Zion.
9The streams [of Edom] will be turned into pitch,
And its dust into brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10The burning will not be quenched night or day;
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will lie in ruins;
No one will ever again pass through it.
11But the pelican and the porcupine will take possession of it;
The owl and the raven will dwell in it.
And He will stretch over it (Edom) the measuring line of desolation
And the plumb line of emptiness.
12Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.
13Thorns will come up in its fortified palaces,
Nettles and brambles in its fortified cities;
It will be a haunt for jackals,
An abode for ostriches.
14The creatures of the desert will encounter jackals
And the #Or demon satyr.hairy goat will call to its kind;
Indeed, #Thought by some to be a female demon associated with the night.Lilith (night demon) will settle there
And find herself a place of rest.
15There the arrow snake will make her nest and lay her eggs,
And hatch them and gather her young under her protection;
Indeed, the birds of prey will be gathered there [to breed],
Every one with its own kind.
16Seek from the book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these [creatures] will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17The Lord has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided and apportioned #Lit it to them.Edom to the wild beasts by measuring-line.
They will possess it forever;
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
