Isaiah:34-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Come near ,
nations ,
to hear ;
and ,
you people ,
listen ;
let the earth hear ,
and its fullness ;
the world ,
and its offspring .
*
For the anger of the LORD [
is ]
on all nations ,
and His fury on all their armies .
He has completely destroyed them ,
He has delivered them to the slaughter .
*
Also their dead shall be thrown out ,
and their stink shall come up out of their dead bodies ,
and the mountains shall be melted with their blood .
*
And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved ,
and the heavens shall be rolled like a scroll ;
and all their host shall droop ,
as a leaf falls off from the vine ,
and as the falling from the fig tree .
*
For My sword bathed in the heavens .
Behold ,
it shall come down on Edom ,
and on the people of My curse for judgment .
*
The sword of the LORD is filled with blood ;
it is made fat with fatness ,
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 .
*
And the wild oxen shall come down with them ,
and the bullocks with the bulls ;
and their land shall be soaked with blood ,
and their dust made fat with fatness .
*
For [
it is ]
the day of the LORD '
s vengeance ,
the year to repay for the fighting against Zion .
*
And its streams shall be turned into pitch ,
and its dust to brimstone ,
and its land shall become burning pitch .
*
It shall not be put out night or day ;
its smoke shall go up forever .
From generation to generation it shall lie waste ;
none passes through it forever [
and ]
forever .
*
But the pelican and the bittern shall possess it ;
the owl also ,
and the raven ,
shall dwell in it .
And He shall stretch out on it the line of shame ,
and the stones of emptiness .
*
They shall call its nobles [
to ]
the kingdom ,
but none [
shall be ]
there ,
and all her rulers shall be nothing .
*
And thorns shall come up in her palaces ,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses ;
and it shall be a home of jackals [
and ]
a court for ostriches .
*
The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the howling beasts ;
and the shaggy goat shall cry to his fellow .
The screech owl also shall rest there ,
and find for herself a place of rest .
*
There the snake shall nest ,
and lay ,
and hatch ,
and gather under her shadow ;
there shall the vultures also be gathered ,
every one with her mate .
*
Seek out of the book of the LORD ,
and read ;
not one of these shall fail ,
none shall lack its mate ;
for My mouth has commanded ,
and His Spirit has gathered them .
*
And He has cast the lot for them ,
and His hand has divided it to them by line ;
they shall possess it forever ,
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it .
*
The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them ;
and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the crocus .
*
It shall blossom abundantly ,
and rejoice even [
with ]
joy and singing ;
the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it ,
the honor of Carmel and Sharon ,
they shall see the glory of the LORD [
and ]
the majesty of our God .
*
Make the weak hands strong and make the feeble knees sure .
*
Say to those of a hasty heart ,
Be strong ,
fear not ;
behold ,
your God will come [
with ]
vengeance ,
with the full dealing of God .
He will come and save you .
*
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened ,
and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped .
*
Then the lame shall leap like a deer ,
and the tongue of the dumb shall sing ;
for in the wilderness waters shall break out ,
and streams in the desert .
*
And the parched ground shall become a pool ,
and the thirsty land shall become springs of water in the home of jackals ,
in its lair ,
and a place for the reed and rush .
*
And a highway shall be there ,
and a way ,
and it shall be called ,
The Way of Holiness .
The unclean shall not pass over it .
But He [
shall be ]
with them ;
the wayfaring men ,
though fools ,
shall not err [
in it ].
*
No lion shall be there ,
nor [
any ]
beast of prey shall go up on it ;
it shall not be found there ;
but the redeemed shall walk there .
*
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads ;
they shall obtain joy and gladness ,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away .
*
And it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah ,
Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them .
