Isaiah 34:8-17 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for Zion’s cause.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for Zion’s cause. ⁹ Edom’s streams will be turned into burning sulfur, and its dust into sulfur; its land will become pitch. ¹⁰ It will burn night and day, and will never be extinguished. Its smoke will rise from generation to generation, and it will lie desolate forever and ever. And no one will pass through it. ¹¹ “But hawks and hedgehogs will possess it; owls and ravens will nest in it. God will stretch out over it a measuring line, and chaos, and plumb lines of emptiness, and its nobles. ¹² They will name it “No Kingdom There,” and all its princes will come to nothing. ¹³ Thorns will grow over its palaces, nettles and brambles its fortresses. It will become a haunt for jackals, a home for ostriches. ¹⁴ And desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and goat-demons will call out to each other. There also Liliths will settle, and find for themselves a resting place. ¹⁵ Owls will nest there, lay eggs, hatch them, and care for their young under the shadow of their wings; yes indeed, vultures will gather there, each one with its mate.”
¹⁶ The Certainty of God’s Deliverance“Study and read from the book of the LORD: And not one will be missing, each will not long for its mate. For it is the mouth of the LORD that has issued the order, and it is his Spirit that has gathered them. ¹⁷ It is he who has allotted their portions, and his hand has divided it for them with a measuring line forever. They will possess it forever; from generation to generation they will live in it.”
