Isaiah 34

1 Draw near O nations to hear and O peoples pay attention let it hear the earth and what fills it [the] world and all produce its.

Come near, all of you nations, to hear; and hearken, all of you people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come out of it.

2 For wrath [belongs] to Yahweh towards all the nations and rage towards every army their he will totally destroy them he will deliver up them to slaughter.

For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter.

3 And slain [ones] their they will be thrown out and corpses their it will go up stench their and they will melt away mountains from blood their.

Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcasses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 And they will rot away all [the] host of the heavens and they will be rolled up like scroll the heavens and all host their it will wither as withers leafage from a vine and like withered fruit from a fig tree.

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5 If it has drunk its fill in the heavens sword my there! on Edom it will come down and on [the] people of total destruction my for judgment.

For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

6 A sword [belongs] to Yahweh it is full blood it has fattened itself from fat from [the] blood of lambs and goats from [the] fat of [the] kidneys of rams for a sacrifice [belongs] to Yahweh in Bozrah and a slaughter great in [the] land of Edom.

The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7 And they will go down wild oxen with them and young bulls with mighty [bulls] and it will drink its fill land their from blood and dust their from fat it will be fattened.

And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 For a day of vengeance [belongs] to Yahweh a year of retribution for [the] cause of Zion.

For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

9 And they will be changed torrents its into pitch and dust its into sulfur and it will become land its pitch burning.

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 Night and by day not it will be extinguished for ever it will go up smoke its from generation to generation it will be desolate to perpetuity of perpetuities there not [will be one who] passes in it.

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 And they will take possession of it desert owl and hedgehog and great owl and raven they will dwell in it and he will stretch out over it a measuring-line of formlessness and stones of emptiness.

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 Nobles its and there not there [will be that which] a kingship people will call and all princes its they will be nothing.

They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

13 And it will grow up fortresses its thorns nettle[s] and thornbush[es] [will be] on fortifications its and it will be a habitation of jackals grass for daughters of an ostrich.

And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

14 And they will meet desert-dwellers hyenas and goat to companion its it will call surely there it will rest [the] night-creature and it will find for itself a resting place.

The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 There it will make a nest owl[s] and it laid eggs and it will hatch and it will gather a brood in shadow its surely there they will be gathered black kites each companion its.

There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

16 Seek from on [the] scroll of Yahweh and read one of them not it will be missing each companion its not they will miss for mouth my it it has commanded and spirit his it it will gather them.

Seek all of you out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall lack her mate: for my mouth it has commanded, and his spirit it has gathered them.

17 And he he has cast for them a lot and hand his it has distributed it to them by the measuring-line until perpetuity they will possess it to a generation and a generation they will dwell in it.

And he has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
