Isaiah 34:5-15

5For my swordH2719 hath drunk its fillH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall comeH3381 down upon EdomH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curse, to judgmentH4941. 6The swordH2719 of Jehovah is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH2459 with fatness, with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352; for Jehovah hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of EdomH123. 7And the wild-oxen shall comeH3381 down with them, and the bullocks with the bullsH6499: and their landH776 shall be drunken with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH2459 with fatness.

8For Jehovah hath a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359, a yearH8141 of recompense for the causeH7379 of ZionH6726. 9And the streams of Edom shall beH1961 turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstone, and the landH776 thereof shall becomeH1961 burningH1197 pitchH2203. 10It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall goH5927 up for everH5769; from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie waste; none shall passH5674 through it for everH5769 and everH5769. 11But the pelican and the porcupine shall possessH3423 it; and the owlH3244 and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 therein: and he will stretchH5186 over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptinessH922. 12They shall callH7121 the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall beH1961 there; and all its princesH8269 shall beH1961 nothingH369. 13And thornsH2336 shall come up in its palaces, nettlesH7057 and thistles in the fortressesH759 thereof; and it shall beH1961 a habitation of jackalsH8577, a court for ostrichesH3284. 14And the wild beasts of the desert shall meetH6298 with the wolves, and the wild goatH8163 shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall findH4672 her a placeH4494 of restH4494. 15There shall the dart-snake make her nestH7077, and lay, and hatchH1234, and gatherH6908 under her shadeH6738; yea, there shall the kites be gatheredH6908, every one with her mate.
