Isaiah 34:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷The people and their leaders will be killed
like wild oxen and young bulls.
Their land will be wet with their blood.
The dust will be covered with their fat.

⁸That’s because the Lord has set aside a day to pay Edom back.
    He has set aside a year to pay them back. He will pay them back for what they did to Zion.
⁹The streams of Edom will be turned into tar.
    Its dust will be turned into blazing sulfur.
    Its land will become burning tar.
