Isaiah 34:7-15

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 ZionH6726.19Edom’s streamsH5158 will be turnedH2015 to tarH2203,and her soilH6083 to sulfurH1614;her landH776 will becomeH1961 a blazingH1197 pitchH2203.10It will notH3808 be quenchedH3518—dayH3119 or nightH3915.Its smokeH6227 will ascendH5927 foreverH5769.From generationH1755 to generationH1755 it will lie desolateH2717;no oneH369 will ever againH5331 passH5674 through it.11The desert owlH6893 and screech owlH7090 will possess itH3423,and the great owlH3244 and ravenH6158 will dwellH7931 in it.2

The LORD will stretch outH5186 overH5921 Edoma measuring lineH6957 of chaosH8414and a plumb lineH68 of destructionH922.12NoH369 H8033 noblesH2715 will be left to proclaimH7121 a kingH4410,and allH3605 her princesH8269 will comeH1961 to nothingH657.13Her towersH759 will be overgrownH5927 with thornsH5518,her fortressesH4013 with thistlesH7057 and briersH2336.She will becomeH1961 a hauntH5116 for jackalsH8577,3an abodeH2681 for ostrichesH1323 H3284.414The desert creaturesH6728 will meetH6298 with hyenasH338,and one wild goatH8163 will callH7121 toH5921 anotherH7453.ThereH389 H8033 the night creatureH3917 5 will settleH7280and findH4672 her place of reposeH4494.15ThereH8033 the owl willH7091 make her nestH7077;she will layH4422 and hatch her eggsH1234and gatherH1716 her brood under her shadowH6738.EvenH389 thereH8033 the birds of preyH1772 will gatherH6908,eachH802 with its mateH7468.
