Isaiah 34

⁷ And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.

⁸ For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

⁹ Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.

¹⁰ It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.

¹¹ The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.
