Isaiah 34

God’s Wrath against Nations

1DrawH7126 nearH7126, 1O nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and listenH7181, O peoplesH3816! 2Let the earthH776 and 3all it containsH4393 hearH8085, and the worldH8398 and allH3605 that springsH6631 from it.2For the Lord’sH3068 4indignationH7110 is againstH5921 allH3605 the nationsH1471, And His wrathH2534 againstH5921 allH3605 their armiesH6635; He has 56utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them, He has givenH5414 them over to 7slaughterH2874.3So their slainH2491 will be 8thrownH7993 out, And their corpsesH6297 9will giveH5927 offH5927 their 10stenchH889, And the mountainsH2022 will 11be drenchedH4549 with their 12bloodH1818.4And 13allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 will 14wearH4743 awayH4743, And the 15skyH8064 will be rolledH1556 up like a scrollH5612; AllH3605 their hostsH6635 will also witherH5034 awayH5034 As a leafH5929 withersH5034 from the vineH1612, Or as one withersH5034 from the figH8384 treeH8384.5For 16My swordH2719 is satiatedH7301 in heavenH8064, BeholdH2009 it shall descendH3381 for judgmentH4941 upon 17EdomH112 And upon the peopleH5971 whom I have 18devotedH2764 to destructionH4941.6The swordH2719 of the LordH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, It is 19satedH1878 with fatH2459, with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, With the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352. For the LordH3068 has a sacrificeH2077 in 20BozrahH1224 And a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of 21EdomH112.722WildH7214 oxenH7214 will also 23fallH3381 with them And 24youngH6499 bullsH6499 with strongH47 onesH47; Thus their landH776 will be 25soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, And their dustH6083 26becomeH1878 greasyH1878 with fatH2459.8For the LordH3068 has a dayH3117 of 27vengeanceH5359, A yearH8141 of recompenseH7966 for the 28causeH7379 of ZionH6726.929Its streamsH5158 will be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, And its looseH6083 earthH6083 into 30brimstoneH1614, And its landH776 will becomeH1961 burningH1197 pitchH2203.10It will 31not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 or dayH3119; Its 32smokeH6227 will goH5927 up foreverH5769. From 33generationH1755 to generationH1755 it will be desolateH2717; 34NoneH369 will passH5674 through it foreverH5331 and everH5331.11But 3536pelicanH6893 and hedgehogH7090 will possessH3423 it, And 37owlH3244 and ravenH6158 will dwellH7931 in it; And He will stretchH5186 overH5921 it the 38lineH6957 of 39desolationH8414 And the 40plumbH68 lineH68 of emptinessH922.12Its noblesH2715--thereH369 is 41noH369 oneH369 thereH8033 Whom they may proclaimH7121 kingH4410-- And allH3605 its princesH8269 will be 42nothingH657.13ThornsH5518 will comeH5927 up in its 43fortifiedH4013 towersH759, NettlesH7057 and thistlesH2336 in its fortifiedH4013 citiesH4013; It will also be a hauntH5116 of 44jackalsH8565 And an abodeH2681 of ostrichesH3284.14The desertH6716 45creaturesH6716 will meetH6298 with the 46wolvesH338, The 4748hairyH8163 goatH8163 also will cryH7121 to its kindH7453; YesH389, the 49nightH3917 monsterH3917 will settleH7280 thereH8033 And will findH4672 herself a restingH4494 placeH4494.15The treeH7091 snakeH7091 will makeH7077 its nestH7077 and layH4422 eggs thereH8033, And it will hatchH1234 and gatherH1716 them under its 50protectionH6738. YesH389, 51the 52hawksH1772 will be gatheredH6908 thereH8033, EveryH802 oneH376 with its kindH7468.

16SeekH1875 from the 53bookH5612 of the LordH3068, and readH7121: Not oneH259 of theseH2007 will be missingH5737; NoneH802H3808 will lackH6485 its mateH7468. For 5455His mouthH6310 has commandedH6680, And His SpiritH7307 has gatheredH6908 them.17He has castH5307 the 56lotH1486 for them, And His handH3027 has dividedH2505 it to them by 57lineH6957. They shall possessH3423 it foreverH5704H5769; From 58generationH1755 to generationH1755 they will dwellH7931 in it.
