it is
the day of the L
ORD
’S vengeance,
and
the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the
land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10
It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof
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 cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall
dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12
They
shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none
shall be
there, and all her princes shall be
nothing.
13
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof:
and it shall be an habitation of dragons,
and
a court for owls.
14
The wild beasts of the desert shall
also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl
also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15
There shall the great owl make her nest,
and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every
one with her mate.
16
Seek ye out of the book of the L
ORD
, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her
mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17
And he hath cast
the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from
generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
CHAPTER 35
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom
as the rose.
2
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of
Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of
the L
ORD
,
and
the excellency of our God.
3
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4
Say to them
that are
of a fearful
heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come
with
vengeance,
even
God
with
a recompence;
he will come and save you.
5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped.
6
Then shall the lame
man
leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for
in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7
And the parched ground shall
become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay,
shall be
grass with reeds and rushes.
8
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it
shall be
for those: the wayfaring
men, though fools, shall not err
therein.
9
No lion shall be there, nor
any
ravenous beast shall go
up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk
there:
10
And the ransomed of
the L
ORD
shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
