Isaiah 34:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) Each star[a] will disappear—
the sky will roll up
like a scroll.[b]
Everything in the sky
will dry up and wilt
like leaves on a vine
or fruit on a tree.
Trouble for Edom
5 (B) After the sword of the Lord
has done what it wants
to the skies above,[c]
it will come down on Edom,
the nation that the Lord
has doomed for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord
is covered with blood
from lambs and goats,
together with fat
from kidneys of rams.
This is because the Lord
will slaughter many people
and make a sacrifice of them
in the city of Bozrah
and everywhere else
in Edom.
Isaiah 34:4-6
New International Version
4 All the stars in the sky will be dissolved(A)
and the heavens rolled up(B) like a scroll;
all the starry host will fall(C)
like withered(D) leaves from the vine,
like shriveled figs from the fig tree.
5 My sword(E) has drunk its fill in the heavens;
see, it descends in judgment on Edom,(F)
the people I have totally destroyed.(G)
6 The sword(H) 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(I) in Bozrah(J)
and a great slaughter(K) in the land of Edom.
Isaiah 34:4-6
King James Version
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
