Isaiah 34

1Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you people! 2For Yahweh is angry with all the nations, and furious against all their armies; 3The bodies of their dead will be thrown out. The stench of the dead bodies will be everywhere; 4All the stars of the sky will fade away, 5For when my sword will have drunk its fill in heaven; 6The sword of Yahweh is dripping with blood and covered with fat, 7Wild oxen will fall with them, and young bulls with the older ones. 8For it will be a day of vengeance for Yahweh and a year when he will pay them back for the cause of Zion. 9The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch, her dust into sulfur, 10It will burn night and day; its smoke will rise forever; 11But wild birds and animals will live there; the owl and the raven will make their nest in it. 12Her nobles 13Thorns will overgrow her palaces, nettles and thistles her fortresses. 14The wild animals and the hyenas will meet there, and the wild goats will cry to one another. 15Owls will make nests, lay and hatch their eggs, hatch and protect their young. 16Search through the scroll of Yahweh; not one of these will be missing.
