Isaiah 34:1-8 Come near, ye nations, to hear, And, ye races, attend,––Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world, and all things produced therefrom:

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Come near, ye nations, to hear, And, ye races, attend,––Let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof, The world, and all things produced therefrom: ² That Yahweh, hath wrath against all the nations, and indignation against all their host,––He hath devoted them to destruction, He hath delivered them to slaughter; ³ And, their slain, shall be cast out, And, their carcases, the stench of them, shall ascend,––And, the mountains, shall melt away, with their blood. ⁴ Then shall be dissolved, all the host of the heavens, And the heavens, shall roll up as a scroll,––Yea, all their host, shall fade––Like the fading and falling of a leaf from a vine, and, Like what fadeth and falleth from a fig–tree. ⁵ For my sword, hath been sated in the heavens,––Lo! upon Edom, shall it descend, Even on the people whom I have devoted to justice. ⁶ A sword, hath Yahweh––Glutted with blood, Sated with fat,––With the blood of well–fed lambs, and he–goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams,––For, a sacrifice, hath Yahweh, in Bozrah, Yea a great slaughter, in the land of Edom; ⁷ Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls,––So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched. ⁸ For, a day of avenging, hath Yahweh,––A year of requitals, for the quarrel of Zion.
