Isaiah 34:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷Wild oxen shall fall with them,
and young steers with the mighty bulls.
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
and their soil made rich with fat.

⁸For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
    a year of vindication by Zion’s cause.^[a]
⁹And the streams of Edom^[b] shall be turned into pitch,
    and her soil into sulfur;
    her land shall become burning pitch.
