Bible. Isaiah
23:034:008 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of
recompences for the controversy of Zion.
23:034:009 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the
dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become
burning pitch.
23:034:010 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.
23:034:011 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.
23:034:012 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none
shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
23:034:013 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.
23:034:014 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.
23:034:015 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.
23:034:016 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, 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.
23:034:017 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.
23:035:001 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;
and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
23:035:002 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 LORD, and the excellency of our God.
23:035:003 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
23:035:004 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.
23:035:005 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of
the deaf shall be unstopped.
23:035:006 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.
