Isaiah 34:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 34:2-8
New American Standard Bible
2 For the Lord’s (A)anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has [a](B)utterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to (C)slaughter.
3 So their slain will be (D)thrown out,
And their corpses [b]will give off their (E)stench,
And the mountains will [c]be drenched with their (F)blood.
4 And (G)all the heavenly [d]lights will [e]wear away,
And the (H)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its [f]lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 For (I)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (J)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (K)designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (L)Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of (M)Edom.
7 (N)Wild oxen will also [g]fall with them
And (O)young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be (P)soaked with blood,
And their dust [h]become greasy with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of (Q)vengeance,
A year of retribution for the [i]cause of Zion.

New International Version
Isaiah 34:2-8
New International Version
2 The Lord is angry with all nations;
his wrath(A) is on all their armies.
He will totally destroy[a](B) them,
he will give them over to slaughter.(C)
3 Their slain(D) will be thrown out,
their dead bodies(E) will stink;(F)
the mountains will be soaked with their blood.(G)
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(H)
and the heavens rolled up(I) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(J)
like withered(K) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(L) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(M)
the people I have totally destroyed.(N)
6 The sword(O) of the Lord is bathed in blood,
it is covered with fat—
the blood of lambs and goats,
fat from the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice(P) in Bozrah(Q)
and a great slaughter(R) in the land of Edom.
7 And the wild oxen(S) will fall with them,
the bull calves and the great bulls.(T)
Their land will be drenched with blood,(U)
and the dust will be soaked with fat.
