The Lord has chosen a time for punishment.
    He has chosen a year when people must pay for the wrongs they did to Jerusalem.
Edom’s rivers will be like hot tar.
    The dirt of Edom will be like burning sulfur.
    The land of Edom will be like burning tar.
10 The fires will burn night and day.
    The smoke will rise from Edom forever.
Year after year that land will be empty.
    No one will ever travel through that land again.

Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
    her dust into burning sulfur;(D)
    her land will become blazing pitch!

    its smoke will rise forever.(F)
From generation to generation(G) it will lie desolate;(H)
    no one will ever pass through it again.
