Isaiah 34:5-11
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Judgement of Edom
5 When my sword has drunk its fill[a](A) in the heavens,
it will then come down on Edom(B)
and on the people I have set apart for destruction.
6 The Lord’s sword is covered with blood.
It drips with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.(C)
For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,(D)
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen will be struck[b] down with them,
and young bulls with the mighty bulls.
Their land will be soaked with[c] blood,
and their soil will be saturated with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of vengeance,(E)
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her soil into sulphur;(F)
her land will become burning pitch.
10 It will never go out – day or night.
Its smoke will go up for ever.(G)
It will be desolate, from generation to generation;
no one will pass through it for ever and ever.(H)
11 Eagle owls[d] and herons[e] will possess it,
and long-eared owls and ravens will dwell there.(I)
The Lord will stretch out a measuring line
and a plumb line(J) over her
for her destruction and chaos.(K)
