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 [L Zion; C the location of the Temple].
Edom’s rivers will be like ·hot tar [pitch].
    Its ·dirt [dust] will be like ·burning sulfur [T brimstone].
    Its land will be like burning ·tar [pitch].
10 The fires will ·burn [L not be quenched] night and day;
    the smoke will rise from Edom forever.
·Year after year [L From generation to generation] that land will be ·empty [desolate];
    no one will ever ·travel [pass] through that land again.
