Isaiah 34:3-15
3So their slainH2491 will be 1thrownH7993 out, And their corpsesH6297 2will giveH5927 offH5927 their 3stenchH889, And the mountainsH2022 will 4be drenchedH4549 with their 5bloodH1818.4And 6allH3605 the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 will 7wearH4743 awayH4743, And the 8skyH8064 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 9My swordH2719 is satiatedH7301 in heavenH8064, BeholdH2009 it shall descendH3381 for judgmentH4941 upon 10EdomH112 And upon the peopleH5971 whom I have 11devotedH2764 to destructionH4941.6The swordH2719 of the LordH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, It is 12satedH1878 with fatH2459, with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, With the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352. For the LordH3068 has a sacrificeH2077 in 13BozrahH1224 And a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of 14EdomH112.715WildH7214 oxenH7214 will also 16fallH3381 with them And 17youngH6499 bullsH6499 with strongH47 onesH47; Thus their landH776 will be 18soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, And their dustH6083 19becomeH1878 greasyH1878 with fatH2459.8For the LordH3068 has a dayH3117 of 20vengeanceH5359, A yearH8141 of recompenseH7966 for the 21causeH7379 of ZionH6726.922Its streamsH5158 will be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, And its looseH6083 earthH6083 into 23brimstoneH1614, And its landH776 will becomeH1961 burningH1197 pitchH2203.10It will 24not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 or dayH3119; Its 25smokeH6227 will goH5927 up foreverH5769. From 26generationH1755 to generationH1755 it will be desolateH2717; 27NoneH369 will passH5674 through it foreverH5331 and everH5331.11But 2829pelicanH6893 and hedgehogH7090 will possessH3423 it, And 30owlH3244 and ravenH6158 will dwellH7931 in it; And He will stretchH5186 overH5921 it the 31lineH6957 of 32desolationH8414 And the 33plumbH68 lineH68 of emptinessH922.12Its noblesH2715--thereH369 is 34noH369 oneH369 thereH8033 Whom they may proclaimH7121 kingH4410-- And allH3605 its princesH8269 will be 35nothingH657.13ThornsH5518 will comeH5927 up in its 36fortifiedH4013 towersH759, NettlesH7057 and thistlesH2336 in its fortifiedH4013 citiesH4013; It will also be a hauntH5116 of 37jackalsH8565 And an abodeH2681 of ostrichesH3284.14The desertH6716 38creaturesH6716 will meetH6298 with the 39wolvesH338, The 4041hairyH8163 goatH8163 also will cryH7121 to its kindH7453; YesH389, the 42nightH3917 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 43protectionH6738. YesH389, 44the 45hawksH1772 will be gatheredH6908 thereH8033, EveryH802 oneH376 with its kindH7468.
