ISA-34:1 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.

ISA-34:2 For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations,

and [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed

them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

ISA-34:3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink

shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be

melted with their blood.

ISA-34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the

heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host

shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a

falling [fig] from the fig tree.

ISA-34:5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it

shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to

judgment.

ISA-34:6 The sword of the LORD 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 the LORD hath a sacrifice in

Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

ISA-34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the

bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with

blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

ISA-34:8 For [it is] the day of the LORD's vengeance, [and] the

year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.

ISA-34:9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and

the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall

become burning pitch.

ISA-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.

ISA-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.

ISA-34:12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but

none [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.

ISA-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.

ISA-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.

ISA-34:15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and

hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures

also be gathered, every one with her mate.

ISA-34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, 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.

ISA-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.
