Isaiah 34:1-16

34:1

Come near
<07126> (8798)_,

ye nations
<01471>_,

to hear
<08085> (8800)_;

and hearken
<07181> (8685)_,

ye people
<03816>_:

let the earth
<0776>

hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and all that is therein
<04393>_;

the world
<08398>_,

and all things that come forth
<06631>

of it. {all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}

34:2

For the indignation
<07110>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] upon all nations
<01471>_,

and [his] fury
<02534>

upon all their armies
<06635>_:

he hath utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

them, he hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

them to the slaughter
<02874>_.

34:3

Their slain
<02491>

also shall be cast out
<07993> (8714)_,

and their stink
<0889>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

out of their carcases
<06297>_,

and the mountains
<02022>

shall be melted
<04549> (8738)

with their blood
<01818>_.

34:4

And all the host
<06635>

of heaven
<08064>

shall be dissolved
<04743> (8738)_,

and the heavens
<08064>

shall be rolled together
<01556> (8738)

as a scroll
<05612>_:

and all their host
<06635>

shall fall down
<05034> (8799)_,

as the leaf
<05929>

falleth off
<05034> (8800)

from the vine
<01612>_,

and as a falling
<05034> (8802)

[fig] from the fig tree
<08384>_.

34:5

For my sword
<02719>

shall be bathed
<07301> (8765)

in heaven
<08064>_:

behold, it shall come down
<03381> (8799)

upon Idumea
<0123>_,

and upon the people
<05971>

of my curse
<02764>_,

to judgment
<04941>_.

34:6

The sword
<02719>

of the LORD
<03068>

is filled
<04390> (8804)

with blood
<01818>_,

it is made fat
<01878> (8719)

with fatness
<02459>_,

[and] with the blood
<01818>

of lambs
<03733>

and goats
<06260>_,

with the fat
<02459>

of the kidneys
<03629>

of rams
<0352>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath a sacrifice
<02077>

in Bozrah
<01224>_,

and a great
<01419>

slaughter
<02874>

in the land
<0776>

of Idumea
<0123>_.

34:7

And the unicorns
<07214>

shall come down
<03381> (8804)

with them, and the bullocks
<06499>

with the bulls
<047>_;

and their land
<0776>

shall be soaked
<07301> (8765)

with blood
<01818>_,

and their dust
<06083>

made fat
<01878> (8792)

with fatness
<02459>_.

{unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}

34:8

For [it is] the day
<03117>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

vengeance
<05359>_,

[and] the year
<08141>

of recompences
<07966>

for the controversy
<07379>

of Zion
<06726>_.

34:9

And the streams
<05158>

thereof shall be turned
<02015> (8738)

into pitch
<02203>_,

and the dust
<06083>

thereof into brimstone
<01614>_,

and the land
<0776>

thereof shall become burning
<01197> (8802)

pitch
<02203>_.

34:10

It shall not be quenched
<03518> (8799)

night
<03915>

nor day
<03119>_;

the smoke
<06227>

thereof shall go up
<05927> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_:

from generation
<01755>

to generation
<01755>

it shall lie waste
<02717> (8799)_;

none shall pass through
<05674> (8802)

it for ever
<05331>

and ever
<05331>_.

34:11

But the cormorant
<06893>

and the bittern
<07090>

shall possess
<03423> (8804)

it; the owl
<03244>

also and the raven
<06158>

shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in it: and he shall stretch out
<05186> (8804)

upon it the line
<06957>

of confusion
<08414>_,

and the stones
<068>

of emptiness
<0922>_.

{cormorant: or, pelican}

34:12

They shall call
<07121> (8799)

the nobles
<02715>

thereof to the kingdom
<04410>_,

but none [shall be] there, and all her princes
<08269>

shall be nothing
<0657>_.

34:13

And thorns
<05518>

shall come up
<05927> (8804)

in her palaces
<0759>_,

nettles
<07057>

and brambles
<02336>

in the fortresses
<04013>

thereof: and it shall be an habitation
<05116>

of dragons
<08577>_,

[and] a court
<02681>

for owls
<01323> <03284>_.

{owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}

34:14

The wild beasts of the desert
<06728>

shall also meet
<06298> (8804)

with the wild beasts of the island
<0338>_,

and the satyr
<08163>

shall cry
<07121> (8799)

to his fellow
<07453>_;

the screech owl
<03917>

also shall rest
<07280> (8689)

there, and find
<04672> (8804)

for herself a place of rest
<04494>_.

{The wild...desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild...island: Heb. Ijim} {screech...: or, night monster}

34:15

There shall the great owl
<07091>

make her nest
<07077> (8765)_,

and lay
<04422> (8762)_,

and hatch
<01234> (8804)_,

and gather
<01716> (8804)

under her shadow
<06738>_:

there shall the vultures
<01772>

also be gathered
<06908> (8738)_,

every one
<0802>

with her mate
<07468>_.

34:16

Seek ye out
<01875> (8798)

of the book
<05612>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and read
<07121> (8798)_:

no one
<0259>

of these
<02007>

shall fail
<05737> (8738)_,

none
<0802>

shall want
<06485> (8804)

her mate
<07468>_:

for my mouth
<06310>

it hath commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

and his spirit
<07307>

it hath gathered
<06908> (8765)

them.
