Yahweh’s Wrath Against the Nations

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:1 -

Draw near, O nations, to hear; and pay attention, O peoples!

Let the earth hear, as well as its fullness, the world and all that springs from it.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:2 -

For the indignation of Yahweh is against all the nations,

And His wrath against all their [fn]hosts;

He has [fn]devoted them to destruction;

He has given them over to slaughter.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:3 -

So their slain will be cast out,

And their corpses [fn]will give off their stench,

And the mountains will [fn]be drenched with their blood.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:4 -

And all the host of heaven will rot away,

And the sky will be rolled up like a scroll;

All their hosts will also wither away

As a leaf withers from the vine,

Or as one withers from the fig tree.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:5 -

For My sword is satiated in heaven;

Behold, it shall descend for judgment upon Edom

And upon the people whom I have devoted to destruction.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:6 -

The sword of Yahweh is filled with blood;

It is [fn]sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,

With the fat of the kidneys of rams.

For Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah

And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:7 -

And wild oxen will also [fn]fall with them,

And young bulls with strong ones;

Thus their land will be soaked with blood,

And their dust [fn]become greasy with fat.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:8 -

For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,

A year of recompense for the [fn]cause of Zion.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:9 -

[fn]And its streams will be turned into pitch,

And its dust into brimstone,

And its land will become burning pitch.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:10 -

It will not be quenched night or day;

Its smoke will go up forever.

From generation to generation it will be laid waste;

None will pass through it forever and ever.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:11 -

But [fn]pelican and hedgehog will possess it,

And [fn]owl and raven will dwell in it;

And He will stretch over it the line of utter formlessness

And the [fn]plumb line of utter void.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:12 -

Its nobles—there is no one there

Whom they may proclaim king

And all its princes will be non-existent.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:13 -

And thorns will come up in its fortified towers,

Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;

It will also be a haunt of jackals

And an abode of ostriches.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:14 -

And the desert creatures will meet with the [fn]wolves;

The [fn]hairy goat also will cry to its kind;

Surely, the [fn]night creature will obtain relief there

And will find itself a resting place.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:15 -

The [fn]owl will make its nest and find its escape there,

And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.

Surely, the [fn]falcons will be gathered there,

Every one with its kind.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:16 -

Seek from the book of Yahweh, and read:

Not one of these will be missing;

None will lack its mate.

For [fn]His mouth has commanded,

And His Spirit has gathered them.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:17 -

He has cast the lot for them,

And His hand has divided it to them by line.

They shall possess it forever;

From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
