Isaiah 34

1 Draw near, you⌃ nations; and hearken, you⌃ princes; let the earth hear, and they that arein it; the world, and the people that are therein. 2 For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, andhis anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter. 3 And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and theirill savor shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood. 4 And all the powers of the heavens shall melt, and the sky shall be rolled up like a scroll:and all the stars shall fall like leaves from a vine, and as leaves fall from a fig tree. 5 My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and withjudgment upon the people doomed to destruction. 6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood ofgoats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bosor, and a greatslaughter in Idumea. 7 And the mighty ones shall fall with them, and the rams and the bulls; and the land shallbe soaked with blood, and shall be filled with their fat. 8 For it is the day of judgment of the Lord, and the year of the recompence of Sion in judgment. 9 And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shallbe as pitch burning night and day; 10 and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolatethroughout her generations, 11 and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: andthe measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it. 12 Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed. 13 And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall behabitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches. 14 And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrsrest, having found for themselvesa place of rest. 15 There has the hedgehog made its nest, and the earth has safely preserved its young: therehave the deer met, and seen one another's faces. 16 They passed by infull number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commandedthem, and his Spirit gathered them. 17 And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned outtheir pasture,saying, You⌃ shall inheritthe land for ever: they shall rest on itthrough all generations.
