For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of reprisal by Zion’s defenders.
The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch
    and her soil into sulfur;
    her land will become burning pitch.[a]
10 Night or day it will never be quenched;
    its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation it will lie waste;
    never again will anyone pass through it.
