Isaiah 34:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.
In context
7 And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.
8 For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch.
10 It will not be quenched—day or night. Its smoke will ascend forever. From generation to generation it will lie desolate; no one will ever again pass through it.
11 The desert owl and screech owl will possess it, and the great owl and raven will dwell in it. The LORD will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of chaos and a plumb line of destruction.
