Isaiah 34:2-17

2For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has adevoted them to destruction,
That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verse 5
has given them over for slaughter.
3Their slain shall be cast out,
and cthe stench of their corpses shall rise;
dthe mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 eAll the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon fEdom,
upon the people gI have devoted to destruction.
6The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
hFor the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 iWild oxen shall jfall with them,
and kyoung steers with lthe mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 mFor the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 nAnd the streams of Edom
Hebrew her streams
shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10Night and day pit shall not be quenched;
qits smoke shall go up forever.
rFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 sBut the hawk and the porcupine
The identity of the animals rendered  hawk and  porcupine is uncertain
shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
uHe shall stretch the line of vconfusion
Hebrew formlessness
over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 xThorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of yjackals,
an abode for ostriches.
Or owls

14 aaAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird
Identity uncertain
settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there acthe hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 adHe has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
