WMBB (Same as above)
MSG (8-15)It’s God’s scheduled time for vengeance,
the year all Zion’s accounts are settled.
Edom’s streams will flow sluggish, thick with pollution,
the soil sterile, poisoned with waste,
The whole country
a smoking, stinking garbage dump—
The fires burning day and night,
the skies black with endless smoke.
Generation after generation of wasteland—
no more travelers through this country!
Vultures and skunks will police the streets;
owls and crows will feel at home there.
God will reverse creation. Chaos!
He will cancel fertility. Emptiness!
Leaders will have no one to lead.
They’ll name it No Kingdom There,
A country where all kings
and princes are unemployed.
Thistles will take over, covering the castles,
fortresses conquered by weeds and thornbushes.
Wild dogs will prowl the ruins,
ostriches have the run of the place.
Wildcats and hyenas will hunt together,
demons and devils dance through the night.
The night-demon Lilith, evil and rapacious,
will establish permanent quarters.
Scavenging carrion birds will breed and brood,
infestations of ominous evil.
NET Owls and wild animals will live there,
⇔ all kinds of wild birds will settle in it.
⇔ The Lord will stretch out over her
⇔ the measuring line of ruin
⇔ and the plumb line of destruction.
LSV And pelican and hedgehog possess her,
And owl and raven dwell in her,
And He has stretched out over her
A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
FBV The desert owl and screech owl will take it over, and the eagle owl and raven will live there. The Lord will stretch out over Edom a measuring line of destruction and a plumb line of desolation.
T4T Ravens and various kinds of owls and small animals will live there.
⇔ Yahweh will measure that land carefully:
⇔ He will measure it to to decide where to cause chaos and destruction.
LEB • [fn] the large bird and the hedgehog shall take possession of it, and the owl and the raven shall live in it. • And he shall stretch the measuring line of confusion out over it, • and the plumb line of emptiness.
34:6 Or “And”
BBE But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.
