Come near,°°
ye nations,°
to hear;°°
and hearken,°°
ye people:°
let the earth°
hear,°°
and all that is therein;°
the world,°
and all things°
that come forth°
of it. |
|
34:2
For the wrath of the Lord is upon all nations, and [his] anger upon the number of them, to destroy them, and give them up to slaughter. |
|
34:2
For°
the indignation°
of Yahweh°
[is] upon°
all°
nations,°
and [his] fury°
upon°
all°
their armies:°
he hath utterly destroyed°°
them, he hath delivered°°
them to the slaughter.° |

out of their carcases,°

the host°
of heaven°
shall be dissolved,°°
and the heavens°
shall be rolled together°°
as a scroll:°

as the leaf°
falleth off°°
from the vine,°°
and as a falling°°
[fig] from the fig tree.°° |
|
34:5
My sword has been made drunk in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom{gr.Idumea}, and with judgement upon the people doomed to destruction. |
|

my sword°
shall be bathed°°
in heaven:°
behold,°
it shall come down°°
upon°
Idumea,°
and upon°
the people°
of my curse,°
to judgment.° |
|

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams: for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bezer{gr.Bosor}, and a great slaughter in Edom{gr.Idumea}. |
|
34:6
The sword°
of Yahweh°
is filled°°
with blood,°
it is made fat°°
with fatness,°°
[and] with the blood°°
of lambs°
and goats,°
with the fat°°
of the kidneys°
of rams:°
for°
Yahweh°
hath a sacrifice°
in Bozrah,°
and a great°
slaughter°
in the land°
of Idumea.° |
|

shall come down°°
with°
them, and the bullocks°
with°
the bulls;°

made fat°°
with fatness.°° |
|

vengeance,°
[and] the year°
of recompences°
for the controversy°
of Zion.° |
|
34:9

|
34:9

thereof shall be turned°°
into pitch,°
and the dust°
thereof into brimstone,°
and the land°
thereof shall become°
burning°°
pitch.° |
|
34:10
and it shall never be quenched, and her smoke shall go up: it shall be made desolate throughout her generations, |
|
34:10
It shall not°
be quenched°°
night°
nor day;°
the smoke°
thereof shall go up°°
for ever:°
from generation°°
to generation°
it shall lie waste;°°
none°
shall pass through°°
it for ever°
and ever.° |
|
34:11 ¶
and for a long time birds and hedgehogs, and ibises and ravens shall dwell in it: and the measuring line of desolation shall be cast over it, and satyrs shall dwell in it. |
|
34:11 ¶
But the cormorant°
and the bittern°
shall possess°°
it; the owl°
also and the raven°
shall dwell°°
in it: and he shall stretch out°°
upon°
it the line°
of confusion,°
and the stones°
of emptiness.° |
|

but none°
[shall be] there,°
and all°
her princes°
shall be°
nothing.° |
|
34:13
And thorns shall spring up in their cities, and in her strong holds: and they shall be habitations of monsters, and a court of ostriches. |
|
34:13
And thorns°
shall come up°°
in her palaces,°
nettles°
and brambles°
in the fortresses°
thereof: and it shall be°
an habitation°
of dragons,°°
[and] a court°
for owls.°° |
|

|
34:14
The wild beasts of the desert°
shall also meet°°
with°
the wild beasts of the island,°
and the satyr°
shall cry°°
to°
his fellow;°
the screech owl°
also°
shall rest°°
there,°
and find°°
for herself a place of rest.° |

shall the great owl°
make her nest,°°
and lay,°°
and hatch,°°
and gather°°
under her shadow:°

shall the vultures°
also°
be gathered,°°
every one°
with her mate.° |
|

Seek°
ye out°°
of°°
the book°
of Yahweh,°
and read:°°
no°
one°
of these°°
shall fail,°°
none°°
shall want°°
her mate:°
for°
my mouth°
it°
hath commanded,°°
and his spirit°
it°
hath gathered°°
them. |
|
34:17
And he shall cast lots for them, and his hand has portioned out [their] pasture, [saying], Ye shall inherit [the land] for ever: they shall rest on it [through] all generations. |
|
34:17
And he°
hath cast°°
the lot°
for them, and his hand°
hath divided°°
it unto them by line:°
they shall possess°°
it for°
ever,°°
from generation°
to generation°
shall they dwell°°
therein. |
