ISAIAH ยท Chapter 34
34:1 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.
34:2 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.
34:3 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.
34:4 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.
34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come
down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
34:6 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.
34:7 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.
34:8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences
for the controversy of Zion.
34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust
thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
34:10 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.
34:11 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.
34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall
be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
34:13 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.
34:14 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.
34:15 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.
34:16 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.
34:17 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.
