 34:1 ¶
Come near,ºº
ye nations,º
to hear;ºº
and hearken,ºº
ye people:º
let the earthº
hear,ºº
and all that is therein;º
the world,º
and all thingsº
that come forthº
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
Forº
the indignationº
of Yahwehº
[is] uponº
allº
nations,º
and [his] furyº
uponº
allº
their armies:º
he hath utterly destroyedºº
them, he hath deliveredºº
them to the slaughter.º |
 34:3
And their slain shall be cast forth, and their corpses; and their [ill] savour shall come up, and the mountains shall be made wet with their blood. |
 34:3
Their slainº
also shall be cast out,ºº
and their stinkº
shall come upºº
out of their carcases,º
and the mountainsº
shall be meltedºº
with their blood.ºº |

the hostº
of heavenº
shall be dissolved,ºº
and the heavensº
shall be rolled togetherºº
as a scroll:º
and allº
their hostº
shall fall down,ºº
as the leafº
falleth offºº
from the vine,ºº
and as a fallingºº
[fig] from the fig tree.ºº |
 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. |
 34:5

my swordº
shall be bathedºº
in heaven:º
behold,º
it shall come downºº
uponº
Idumea,º
and uponº
the peopleº
of my curse,º
to judgment.º |
 34:6
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 swordº
of Yahwehº
is filledºº
with blood,º
it is made fatºº
with fatness,ºº
[and] with the bloodºº
of lambsº
and goats,º
with the fatºº
of the kidneysº
of rams:º
forº
Yahwehº
hath a sacrificeº
in Bozrah,º
and a greatº
slaughterº
in the landº
of Idumea.º |

shall come downºº
withº
them, and the bullocksº
withº
the bulls;º

with blood,ºº
and their dustº
made fatºº
with fatness.ºº |
 34:8

 34:8
Forº
[it is] the dayº
of Yahweh'sº
vengeance,º
[and] the yearº
of recompencesº
for the controversyº
of Zion.º |
 34:9
And her valleys shall be turned into pitch, and her land into sulphur; and her land shall be as pitch burning night and day; |
 34:9
And the streamsº
thereof shall be turnedºº
into pitch,º
and the dustº
thereof into brimstone,º
and the landº
thereof shall becomeº
burningºº
pitch.º |
 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 notº
be quenchedºº
nightº
nor day;º
the smokeº
thereof shall go upºº
for ever:º
from generationºº
to generationº
it shall lie waste;ºº
noneº
shall pass throughºº
it for everº
and ever.º |
 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 cormorantº
and the bitternº
shall possessºº
it; the owlº
also and the ravenº
shall dwellºº
in it: and he shall stretch outºº
uponº
it the lineº
of confusion,º
and the stonesº
of emptiness.º |
 34:12
Her princes shall be no more; for her kings and her great men shall be destroyed. |
 34:12
They shall callºº
the noblesº
thereof to the kingdom,º
but noneº
[shall be] there,º
and allº
her princesº
shall beº
nothing.º |
 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 thornsº
shall come upºº
in her palaces,º
nettlesº
and bramblesº
in the fortressesº
thereof: and it shall beº
an habitationº
of dragons,ºº
[and] a courtº
for owls.ºº |
 34:14
And devils shall meet with satyrs, and they shall cry one to the other: there shall satyrs rest, having found for themselves [a place of] rest. |
 34:14
The wild beasts of the desertº
shall also meetºº
withº
the wild beasts of the island,º
and the satyrº
shall cryºº
toº
his fellow;º
the screech owlº
alsoº
shall restºº
there,º
and findºº
for herself a place of rest.º |
 34:15

 34:15
Thereº
shall the great owlº
make her nest,ºº
and lay,ºº
and hatch,ºº
and gatherºº
under her shadow:º
thereº
shall the vulturesº
alsoº
be gathered,ºº
every oneº
with her mate.º |
 34:16 ¶
They passed by in [full] number, and not one of them perished: they sought not one another; for the Lord commanded them, and his Spirit gathered them. |
 34:16 ¶
Seekº
ye outºº
ofºº
the bookº
of Yahweh,º
and read:ºº
noº
oneº
of theseºº
shall fail,ºº
noneºº
shall wantºº
her mate:º
forº
my mouthº
itº
hath commanded,ºº
and his spiritº
itº
hath gatheredºº
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

hath castºº
the lotº
for them, and his handº
hath dividedºº
it unto them by line:º
they shall possessºº
it forº
ever,ºº
from generationº
to generationº
shall they dwellºº
therein. |
