Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 34:4-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,and the heavens shall be rolled together as a book;and all their host shall fall downas the leaf falls from the vine,and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

5. For My sword is filled in heaven;see, it shall come down for judgment on Edom,and on the people whom I have devoted to destruction.

6. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,it is made full with fatness,and with the blood of lambs and goats,with the fat of the kidneys of rams.For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7. The wild oxen shall also fall with them,and the young bulls with the mighty bulls;so their land shall be soaked with blood,and their dust become greasy with fat.

8. For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord,and the year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

9. Its streams shall be turned into pitch,and its dust into brimstone,and its land shall become burning pitch.

10. It shall not be quenched night or day;its smoke shall go up forever.From generation to generation it shall lie waste;no one shall pass through it forever and ever.

11. But the cormorant and the hedgehog shall possess it,the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it.And He shall stretch out on itthe line of desolation,and the plumb line of emptiness.

12. They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but no one shall be there,and all her princes shall be nothing.
