⁸ The Lord has chosen a time for punishment.
    He has chosen a year ·when people must pay [of retribution/recompense] for the ·wrongs they did to [or the cause of] ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple].
⁹ Edom’s rivers will be like ·hot tar [pitch].
    Its ·dirt [dust] will be like ·burning sulfur [^Tbrimstone].
    Its land will be like burning ·tar [pitch].
¹⁰ The fires will ·burn [^Lnot be quenched] night and day;
    the smoke will rise from Edom forever.
·Year after year [^LFrom generation to generation] that land will be ·empty [desolate];
    no one will ever ·travel [pass] through that land again.
