Isaiah 34:10-12
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 34:10-12
New International Reader's Version
10 The fire will keep burning night and day.
It can’t be put out.
Its smoke will go up forever.
Edom will lie empty for all time to come.
No one will ever travel through it again.
11 The desert owl and screech owl will make it their home.
The great owl and the raven will build their nests there.
God will use his measuring line
to show how completely Edom will be destroyed.
He will use his plumb line
to show how empty Edom will become.
12 Edom’s nobles won’t have anything left there
that can be called a kingdom.
All its princes will vanish.

10 It will not be quenched(A) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(B)
From generation to generation(C) it will lie desolate;(D)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](E) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(F) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(G)
the measuring line of chaos(H)
and the plumb line(I) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(J) will vanish(K) away.
