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.
