Isaiah 34:9-12

Common English Bible

⁹ Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
    its dust into sulfur,
    and its land will become burning pitch.
¹⁰ Night and day won’t be extinguished;
    its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will lie waste;
    no one will ever pass through it again.
¹¹ Screech owls and crows will possess it;
    owls and ravens will live there.^[a]
God will stretch over it the measuring line of chaos
    and the plummet stone of emptiness over its officials.
¹² No Kingdom There, they will call it,
    and all its princes will disappear.
