The Lord has chosen
    the year and the day,
when he will take revenge
    and come to Zion's defense.
Edom's streams will turn into tar
    and its soil into sulfur—
then the whole country
    will go up in flames.
10 (A) It will burn night and day
    and never stop smoking.
Edom will be a desert,
    generation after generation;
no one will ever travel
    through that land.

    a year of retribution,(C) to uphold Zion’s cause.
Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
    her dust into burning sulfur;(D)
    her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(E) night or day;
    its smoke will rise forever.(F)
From generation to generation(G) it will lie desolate;(H)
    no one will ever pass through it again.
