Rotherham - Isaiah - 34

34:1  Come near ye nations to hear, And, ye races, attend,—Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world and all things produced therefrom:

34:2  That Yahweh hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host,—He hath devoted them to destruction He hath delivered them to slaughter;

34:3  And their slain shall be cast out, And their carcases, the stench of them shall ascend,—And, the mountains, shall melt away with their blood.

34:4  Then shall be dissolved all the host of the heavens, And the heavens shall roll up as a scroll,—Yea, all their host, shall fade—Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig-tree.

34:5  For my sword hath been sated in the heavens,—Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice.

34:6  A sword, hath Yahweh—Glutted with blood Sated with fat,—With the blood of well-fed lambs and he-goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams,—For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter in the land of Edom;

34:7  Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls,—So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.

34:8  For a day of avenging, hath Yahweh,—A year of requitals for the quarrel of Zion.

34:9  Then shall the torrents thereof be turned into pitch, And the dust thereof, into brimstone,—So shall her land become burning pitch:

34:10  Neither night nor day, shall it be quenched, To times age-abiding, shall ascend the smoke thereof,—From generation to generation, shall it be waste, Never, never, shall any pass through it:

34:11  That the vomiting pelican and the bittern may possess it: And the great owl and the raven, dwell therein; Then will he stretch out over it The line of desolation, and The plummet of emptiness.

34:12  Her nobles (but none, are, there)! unto royalty, will call,—All, all her princes, shall become nought.

34:13  Then shall come up, in her palaces thorns Nettles and thistles in her fortresses,—And she shall become A home for wild dogs, An enclosure for ostriches;

34:14  Then shall criers meet with howlers, And, the shaggy creature, unto his fellow, shall call,—Only, there, shall, the night-spectre, Make her settlement, And find for herself a place of rest:

34:15  There, shall, the arrow-snake, Make her nest and lay, And hatch and gather under her shadow,—Only, there, shall be gathered the falcons, every one with her mate.

34:16  Seek ye out of the scroll of Yahweh, and read, Not, one from among them, is lacking, None, hath missed, her mate,—For, a mouth, hath, itself commanded, And, his spirit, hath itself gathered them:

34:17  Yea he himself, hath cast for them a lot, And his own hand, hath given to them a portion by line,—Unto times age-abiding, shall they possess it, To generation after generation, shall they dwell therein.
