Isa 34
1 Judgment on the Nations
Lead forward, O nations, and hearken, O rulers! Hear, O earth and the ones [
2in
3it
1living]; O world, and the people in it!
2Because the rage of
the LORD is upon all the nations, and
his anger
is upon their number, to destroy them and to deliver them up unto slaughter.
3And the slain ones of theirs shall be tossed forth, and the dead ones. And [
3of them shall ascend
1the
2scent], and [
3shall be rained upon
1the
2mountains] by their blood.
4And [
6shall melt away
1all
2the
3powers
4of the
5heavens]. And [
3shall coil up
1the
2heaven] as a scroll, and all the stars shall fall as leaves
fall from a grapevine, and as [
2fall
1leaves] from a fig-tree.
5For [
2was intoxicated
1my sword] in the heaven. Behold, [
2upon
3Edom
1it shall go down], and upon the people of the destruction with judgment.
6The sword of the
LORD was filled of blood thickened from
the fat of lambs, and from
the fat of he-goats and rams; for a sacrifice to God
is in Bosor, and [
2slaughter
1a great] in Edom.
7And [
3shall be cast down
1the
2stout men] with them, and the rams and the bulls. And [
3will be intoxicated
1the
2earth] from the blood, even their embankment; and [
2of
3their fat
1they shall be filled up].
8 Day of Judgment
For
it is a day of judgment of
the LORD, and
the year of recompense of judgment of Zion.
9And [
2shall be turned
1her ravines] into pitch; and her land into sulphur; and [
2will be
1her land
3in
5pitch
4burning]
10night and day; and it shall not be extinguished into the eon of time. And [
2shall ascend
1her smoke] upward; unto her generations she shall be made desolate, and for [
2time
1a long] she shall be made desolate.
11Birds, and hedgehogs, and ibises, and crows shall dwell in her; and [
4shall be put
5upon
6her
2cord
1a surveying
3of desolation]; and satyrs shall live in her.
12 Her rulers will not be; for her kings and her great men will be for destruction.
13And [
3shall grow up
4in
5their cities
1thorny
2woods], and also in her fortresses; and they will be properties of sirens, and a courtyard of ostriches.
14And [
2shall meet with
1demons] satyrs; and they shall yell another to the other; [
3there
2shall rest
1satyrs], for they found for themselves a
place of rest.
15[
3there
2shall nest
1The hedgehog], and [
3preserved
1the
2earth] her children with safety; there stags meet together, and beheld the faces of one another.
16[
2in number
1They go by], and [
2one
3of them
1not] perished;
the other [
3the
4other
1did not
2seek]; for the
LORD gave charge to them, and his spirit gathered them.
17And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand divided out parts to them to graze. Into the eon of time you shall inherit; for generations of generations shall rest upon it.
