Isaiah 34:2-8

2 The LORDH3068 is angryH7110 withH5921 allH3605 the nationsH1471 and furiousH2534 with all their armiesH6635. He will devote them to destructionH2763;1 He will give them overH5414 to slaughterH2874.3Their slainH2491 will be left unburiedH7993, and the stenchH889 of their corpsesH6297 will riseH5927; the mountainsH2022 will flowH4549 with their bloodH1818.4AllH3605 the starsH6635 of heavenH8064 will be dissolvedH4743. The skiesH8064 will be rolled upH1556 like a scrollH5612, and all their starsH6635 H3605 will fallH5034 like witheredH5034 leavesH5929 from the vineH1612, like foliageH5034 from the fig treeH8384.

5WhenH3588 My swordH2719 has drunk its fillH7301 in the heavensH8064,thenH2009 it will come downH3381 uponH5921 EdomH123,uponH5921 the peopleH5971 I have devotedH2764 to destructionH4639.6The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is bathedH4390 in bloodH1818.It dripsH1878 with fatH2459—with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260,with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352.ForH3588 the LORDH3068 has a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224,a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of EdomH123.7And the wild oxenH7214 will fallH3381 with themH5973,the young bullsH6499 withH5973 the strongH47 ones.Their landH776 will be drenchedH7301 with bloodH1818,and their soilH6083 will be soakedH1878 with fatH2459.

8ForH3588 the LORDH3068 has a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359,a yearH8141 of recompenseH7966 for the causeH7379 of ZionH6726.2
