Isaiah 34:1-9

1ComeH7126 nearH7126, 1you nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and listenH7181, you peoplesH3816! 2Let the earthH776 and 3allH4393 it containsH4393 hearH8085, and the worldH8398 and allH3605 that springsH6631 from it.2For the Lord’sH3068 4angerH7110 is againstH5921 allH3605 the nationsH1471, And His wrathH2534 againstH5921 allH3605 their armiesH6635. He has 5 6utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them, He has turnedH5414 them overH5414 to 7slaughterH2874.3So their slainH2491 will be 8thrownH7993 outH7993, And their corpsesH6297 9will giveH5927 offH5927 their 10stenchH889, And the mountainsH2022 will 11be drenchedH4549 with their 12bloodH1818.4And 13allH3605 the heavenlyH8064 14lightsH6635 will 15wearH4743 awayH4743, And the 16skyH8064 will be rolledH1556 upH1556 like a scrollH5612; AllH3605 its 17lightsH6635 will also witherH5034 awayH5034 As a leafH5929 withersH5034 from the vineH1612, Or as one withersH5034 from the figH8384 treeH8384.5For 18My swordH2719 has drunkH7301 its fillH7301 in heavenH8064; BeholdH2009 it shall descendH3381 for judgmentH4941 upon 19EdomH112, And upon the peopleH5971 whom I have 20designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH4941.6The swordH2719 of the LordH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, It dripsH1878 with fatH2459, with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, With the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352. For the LordH3068 has a sacrificeH2077 in 21BozrahH1224, And a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of 22EdomH112.7 23WildH7214 oxenH7214 will also 24fallH3381 with them And 25youngH6499 bullsH6499 with strongH47 onesH47; So their landH776 will be 26soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, And their dustH6083 27becomeH1878 greasyH1878 with fatH2459.8For the LordH3068 has a dayH3117 of 28vengeanceH5359, A yearH8141 of retributionH7966 for the 29causeH7379 of ZionH6726.9 30Its streamsH5158 will be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, And its looseH6083 earthH6083 into 31brimstoneH1614, And its landH776 will becomeH1961 burningH1197 pitchH2203.
