“For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.”
Isaiah 34:8 (BSB)
Context Reading
6The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood. It drips with fat — with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7And 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. 8For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. 9Edom’s streams will be turned to tar, and her soil to sulfur; her land will become a blazing pitch. 10It 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.
