Isaias (Isaiah) 34
34
1COME near, ye Gentiles, and hear: and hearken, ye people. Let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it.
2For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them and delivered them to slaughter.
3Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a stink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth from the vine and from the fig-tree.
5For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment.
6The sword of the Lord is filled with blood. It is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck-goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.
8For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.
9And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day, it shall not be quenched: the smoke thereof shall go up for ever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste: none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11The bittern and ericius shall possess it, and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.
12The nobles thereof shall not be there. They shall call rather upon the king: and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.
13And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons and the pasture of ostriches.
14And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another. There hath the lamia lain down and found rest for herself.
15There hath the ericius had its hole and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about and cherished them in the shadow thereof. Thither are the kites gathered together one to another.
16Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other. For that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded: and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line. They shall possess it for ever: from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.

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.
