Isaiah 34:2-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations
and furious against all their hordes;
he has doomed them, has given them over for slaughter.(A)
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and the stench of their corpses shall rise;
the mountains shall flow with their blood.(B)
4 All the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall wither
like a leaf withering on a vine
or fruit withering on a fig tree.(C)
5 When my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens,
upon Edom it will fall,
upon the people I have doomed to judgment.(D)
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.(E)
7 Wild oxen shall fall with them
and young steers with the mighty bulls.
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
and their soil made rich with fat.(F)
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of vindication for Zion’s cause.[a](G)
9 And the streams of Edom[b] shall be turned into pitch
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.(H)
10 Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
no one shall pass through it forever and ever.(I)
11 But the desert owl[c] and the screech owl[d] shall possess it;
the great owl and the raven shall live in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion
and the plummet of chaos over it.(J)
12 They shall call its nobles No Kingdom There,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of jackals,
an abode for ostriches.(K)
14 Wildcats shall meet with hyenas;
goat-demons shall call to each other;
there also Lilith shall repose
and find a place to rest.(L)
15 There shall the owl nest
and lay and hatch and brood in its shadow;
there also the buzzards shall gather,
each one with its mate.(M)
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without its mate.
For his mouth, it has commanded,
and his spirit, it has gathered them.(N)
17 He has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line.
[[They shall possess it;
from generation to generation they shall live in it.(O)
Isaiah 34:2-17
New International Version
Isaiah 34:2-17
New International Version
2 The Lord is angry with all nations;
his wrath(A) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](B) them,
he will give them over to slaughter.(C)
3 Their slain(D) will be thrown out,
their dead bodies(E) will stink;(F)
the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(G)
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(H)
and the heavens rolled up(I) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(J)
like withered(K) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(L) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(M)
the people I have totally destroyed.(N)
6 The sword(O) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(P) in Bozrah(Q)
and a great slaughter(R) in the land of Edom.
7 And the wild oxen(S) will fall with them,
the bull calves and the great bulls.(T)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(U)
and the dust will be soaked with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day(V) of vengeance,(W)
a year of retribution,(X) to uphold Zion’s cause.
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;(Y)
her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(Z) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(AA)
From generation to generation(AB) it will lie desolate;(AC)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[b](AD) and screech owl[c] will possess it;
the great owl[d] and the raven(AE) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(AF)
the measuring line of chaos(AG)
and the plumb line(AH) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(AI) will vanish(AJ) away.
13 Thorns(AK) will overrun her citadels,
nettles and brambles her strongholds.(AL)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(AM)
a home for owls.(AN)
14 Desert creatures(AO) will meet with hyenas,(AP)
and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(AQ) will also lie down
and find for themselves places of rest.
15 The owl will nest there and lay eggs,
she will hatch them, and care for her young
under the shadow of her wings;(AR)
there also the falcons(AS) will gather,
each with its mate.
16 Look in the scroll(AT) of the Lord and read:
None of these will be missing,(AU)
not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth(AV) that has given the order,(AW)
and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He allots their portions;(AX)
his hand distributes them by measure.
They will possess it forever
and dwell there from generation to generation.(AY)
