Judgment on the Nations

 ⁸ For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

⁹ Its streams shall be turned into pitch,

And its dust into brimstone;
Its land shall become burning pitch.
¹⁰ It shall not be quenched night or day;
Its smoke shall ascend forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
¹¹ But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it,
Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
And He shall stretch out over it
The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
¹² They shall call its nobles to the kingdom,
But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.

Isaiah 34:8-12 (NKJV)
