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.
Nettles and brambles in its fortresses;
bIt shall be a habitation of jackals,
A courtyard for ostriches.
And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion;
Also1 the night creature shall rest there,
And find for herself a place of rest.
And hatch, and gather them under her shadow;
There also shall the hawks be gathered,
Every one with her mate.
Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.
And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to generation they shall dwell in it.”
| << Isaiah 34:8 | Isaiah 34:10 >> |
