It is made1 overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For bthe Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust1 saturated with fatness.”
And its dust into brimstone;
Its land shall become burning pitch.
aIts smoke shall ascend forever.
bFrom generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
And bHe shall stretch out over it
The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.
| << Isaiah 34:7 | Isaiah 34:9 >> |
