Isaiah 34:5-10 ▼

5 For in the heavens My sword has drunk its fill; behold, upon Edom it will come down, and upon the people I have devoted to judgment.

6 The sword of YHWH has been full of blood, dripping with fat and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for a sacrifice is unto YHWH in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7 And the wild oxen will go down with them and the young bulls with the mighty ones; and their land will be watered with blood, and their dust will be soaked with fat.

8 For a day of vengeance is unto YHWH, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

9 And her streams will be turned to pitch, and her dust to brimstone, and her land will become a burning pitch.

10 Night and day it will not be quenched; her smoke will ascend forever; she will be desolate from generation to generation; no one will pass through her forever and ever;
