For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,[a]
    a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
And its streams shall be changed to pitch and its soil to sulfur,
    and its land shall become like burning pitch.
10 Night and day it shall not be quenched;
    its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall be in ruins;
    forever and ever there will be no one who passes through her.

For it is the day of the Lord’s (A)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
(B)Its streams shall be turned into pitch,
And its dust into brimstone;
Its land shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night or day;
(C)Its smoke shall ascend forever.
(D)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
