Isaiah 34:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ And the streams of Edom^[a] shall be turned into pitch,
    and her soil into brimstone;
    her land shall become burning pitch.
¹⁰ Night and day it shall not be quenched;
    its smoke shall go up for ever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
    none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
¹¹ But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it,
    the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion over it,
    and the plummet of chaos over^[b] its nobles.
