Isaiah 34:5-17
New American Standard Bible
5 For (A)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (B)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (C)designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (D)Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of (E)Edom.
7 (F)Wild oxen will also [a]fall with them
And (G)young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be (H)soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]become greasy with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of (I)vengeance,
A year of retribution for the [c]cause of Zion.
9 [d]Its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into (J)brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will (K)not be extinguished night or day;
Its (L)smoke will go up forever.
From (M)generation to generation it will be desolate;
(N)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [e](O)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [f]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (P)line of [g]desolation
And the [h]plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is (Q)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its officials will be (R)nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its (S)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (T)jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14 The desert (U)creatures will meet with the [i]wolves,
The [j](V)goat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the [k]night-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its [l]protection.
Yes, (W)the [m]hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16 Seek from the (X)book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For [n](Y)His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the (Z)lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by the (AA)measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From (AB)generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Isaiah 34:5-17
New King James Version
5 “For (A)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it (B)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
6 The (C)sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is made [a]overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For (D)the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]saturated with fatness.”
8 For it is the day of the Lord’s (E)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 (F)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;
(G)Its smoke shall ascend forever.
(H)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (I)But the [c]pelican and the [d]porcupine shall possess it,
Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
And (J)He shall stretch out over it
The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom,
But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 And (K)thorns shall come up in its palaces,
Nettles and brambles in its fortresses;
(L)It shall be a habitation of jackals,
A courtyard for ostriches.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the [e]jackals,
And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion;
Also [f]the night creature shall rest there,
And find for herself a place of rest.
15 There the arrow snake shall make her nest and lay eggs
And hatch, and gather them under her shadow;
There also shall the hawks be gathered,
Every one with her mate.
16 “Search from (M)the book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to generation they shall dwell in it.”
