Isaiah 34:9-11
Living Bible
Isaiah 34:9-11
Living Bible
9 The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch, and the ground will be covered with fire.
10 This judgment on Edom will never end. Its smoke will rise up forever. The land will lie deserted from generation to generation; no one will live there anymore. 11 There the hawks and porcupines will live, and owls and ravens. For God will observe that land and find it worthy of destruction. He will test its nobles and find them worthy of death.

Isaiah 34:9-11
New International Version
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;(A)
her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(B) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(C)
From generation to generation(D) it will lie desolate;(E)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](F) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(G) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(H)
the measuring line of chaos(I)
and the plumb line(J) of desolation.
