LITV - Isaiah - 34

34:1  Nations, come near to hear; and peoples, listen! Let the earth hear, and its fullness, the world and all its offspring.

34:2  For the wrath of Jehovah is on all the nations, and fury on all their army; He has devoted them; He gave them to slaughter.

34:3  And their slain shall be thrown out; and the stench from their carcasses shall rise; and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

34:4  And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a scroll. Then all their host shall droop, as a leaf drooping from the vine, and as the drooping from a fig tree.

34:5  For My sword is drenched in the heavens. Behold, it shall come down on Edom, and on the people of My curse, for judgment.

34:6  A sword is to Jehovah; it is filled with blood; it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

34:7  And wild oxen shall come down with them, and bullocks with strong bulls; and their land is drenched with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

34:8  For the day of vengeance is to Jehovah, the year of repayments for Zion's cause.

34:9  And its torrents shall be turned to pitch, and its dust to brimstone; and its land shall become burning pitch.

34:10  It shall not be put out night or day; its smoke shall rise forever. From generation to generation, it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and forever.

34:11  But the owl and the hedgehog shall possess it; and the eared owl and the raven shall live in it. And He shall stretch out on it the line of shame, and the stones of emptiness.

34:12  They shall call its nobles to a kingdom, but none shall be there; and all her rulers shall be nothing.

34:13  And thorns shall grow in her palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it shall be a home for jackals, a court for daughters of ostriches.

34:14  The desert creatures shall also meet with the howlers; and the shaggy goat shall cry to his fellow. The screech owl shall also settle there, and find a place of rest for herself.

34:15  The snake shall nest there, and shall lay, and hatch, and shall gather in her shadow. Vultures shall also be gathered together, each with its mate.

34:16  Search and read from the Book of Jehovah; not one of these misses, each not lacking her mate; for He has commanded my mouth, and by His Spirit He has assembled them.

34:17  And He has made fall a lot for them, and His hand divided it to them by line. They shall possess it until forever, from generation to generation they shall live in it.
