Isa.|34:1|-|Draw near, O nations, to hear;And listen, O peoples!
Let the earth and all that fills it hear,The world and all that springs forth from it.
Isa.|34:2|-|For Jehovah’s indignation is upon all the nations,And His wrath is upon all their |a|armies;
He has utterly destroyed them;He has delivered them unto the slaughter.
Isa.|34:3|-|Thus their slain are cast away,And from their corpses their |a|stench will come up;
And the mountains will be melted with their blood.
Isa.|34:4|-|And all the armies of heaven will be dissolved,And the |a|heavens will be rolled up like a scroll,
And all their host will wither away,As the leaf withers from the vine,
Or |b|like a leaf withering from the fig tree.
Isa.|34:5|-|For My |a|sword has drunk its fill in heaven.Now it will descend in judgment upon |b|Edom
And upon the people whom I have devoted to judgment.
Isa.|34:6|-|Jehovah’s sword is full of blood;It has fattened itself with fat,
With the blood of lambs and goats,With the fat of the kidneys of rams;
For Jehovah has a |1|sacrifice in |a|BozrahAnd a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Isa.|34:7|-|Wild oxen will also go down with them,The young bulls with the bulls;
And their land will drink its fill of their blood,And their dust will become fat with their fat.
Isa.|34:8|-|For Jehovah has a |a|day of vengeance,A year of recompense for Zion’s contention.
Isa.|34:9|-|And |1|its streams will be turned into pitch,And its dust into brimstone;
And its land will become burning pitch.
Isa.|34:10|-|It will not be quenched by night or by day;Its |a|smoke will go up forever;
It will be desolate from generation to generation;No one will pass through it forever and ever.
Isa.|34:11|-|But the pelican and the porcupine will inherit it,And the owl and the raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over itThe line of nothingness and the plummet weights of emptiness.
Isa.|34:12|-|As for its nobles, there is no one there whom they may call to assume thekingdom,
And all its princes will be nothing.
Isa.|34:13|-|And thorns will come up in its citadels,Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
And it will be a |a|habitation for jackals,And an abode for ostriches.
Isa.|34:14|-||a|Desert animals will meet with hyenas;And the |1|demon will call to his kind,
Indeed there |2|Lilith will settleAnd find a resting place for herself.
Isa.|34:15|-|There the owl will make its nest and lay eggs,And hatch them and gather them under its protection;
Indeed there the vultures will be gathered together,Each with its kind.
Isa.|34:16|-||a|Seek from the |b|book of Jehovah and read.Not one of these will be missing;
Not one will lack her mate;For His mouth has commanded it,
And it is His Spirit who has gathered them.
Isa.|34:17|-|And He has cast the lot for them,And His hand has divided it by line unto them;
They will inherit it forever;From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
