⁸ For the Lord has a day of vengeance,^(A)
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
⁹ Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her soil into sulphur;^(B)
her land will become burning pitch.
¹⁰ It will never go out – day or night.
Its smoke will go up for ever.^(C)
It will be desolate, from generation to generation;
no one will pass through it for ever and ever.^(D)
