Isaiah 34:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ The Lord has chosen a time for punishment.
    He has chosen a year when people must pay for the wrongs they did to Jerusalem.
⁹ Edom’s rivers will be like hot tar.
    Its dirt will be like burning sulfur.
    Its land will be like burning tar.
¹⁰ The fires will burn night and day;
    the smoke will rise from Edom forever.
Year after year that land will be empty;
    no one will ever travel through that land again.
