The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch
    and her soil into sulfur;
    her land will become burning pitch.[a]
10 Night or day it will never be quenched;
    its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation it will lie waste;
    never again will anyone pass through it.
11 But the hawk and the hedgehog will possess it;
    the owl and the raven will dwell in it.
The Lord will stretch out over it
    the measuring line of chaos
    and the plumb line of desolation.
