Isaiah 34:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ The water in Edom's streams will become tar.
    Its soil will become sulphur.
Its whole land will become tar that is burning.
¹⁰ That fire will burn through the days and the nights.
    Its smoke will always continue to rise up.
The land will be empty from one century to the next.
    Nobody will ever travel through it again.
¹¹ Owls, hawks and hedgehogs will live there,^[a]
    as well as all kinds of wild animals and wild birds.
The Lord will carefully measure the whole land,
    so that he can destroy it.
It will become like an empty desert.
