34:9 Edom’s 1 streams will be turned into pitch
and her soil into brimstone;
her land will become burning pitch.
34:10 Night and day it will burn; 2
its smoke will ascend continually.
Generation after generation it will be a wasteland
and no one will ever pass through it again.
34:11 Owls and wild animals 3 will live there, 4
all kinds of wild birds 5 will settle in it.
The Lord 6 will stretch out over her
the measuring line of ruin
and the plumb line 7 of destruction. 8
34:12 Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdom
and all her officials will disappear. 9
