New International Version
Isaiah 34:9-12
New International Version
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;(A)
her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(B) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(C)
From generation to generation(D) it will lie desolate;(E)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](F) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(G) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(H)
the measuring line of chaos(I)
and the plumb line(J) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(K) will vanish(L) away.

Isaiah 34:9-12
King James Version
9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
