34:8For the Lord has planned a day of revenge,18
a time when he will repay Edom for her hostility toward Zion.19
34:9Edom’s20 streams will be turned into pitch
and her soil into brimstone;
her land will become burning pitch.
34:10Night and day it will burn;21
its smoke will ascend continually.
Generation after generation it will be a wasteland
and no one will ever pass through it again.
Footnotes
- 18 Heb “for a day of vengeance [is] for the Lord.”
- 19 Heb “a year of repayment for the strife of Zion.” The translation assumes that רִיב (riv) refers to Edom’s hostility toward Zion. Another option is to understand רִיב (riv) as referring to the Lord’s taking up Zion’s cause. In this case one might translate, “a time when he will repay Edom and vindicate Zion.”
- 20 Heb “her”; the referent (Edom) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 21 Heb “it will not be extinguished.”

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of retribution, to uphold Zion’s cause.
Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;
her land will become blazing pitch!
It will not be quenched night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation it will lie desolate;
no one will ever pass through it again.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a time of paying back Edom
for its hostility against Zion.
Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her soil into sulfur;
her land will become burning pitch.
It will never go out—day or night.
Its smoke will go up forever.
It will be desolate, from generation to generation;
no one will pass through it forever and ever.

NLTNew Living Translation
For it is the day of the Lord’s revenge,
the year when Edom will be paid back for all it did to Israel.
The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch,
and the ground will be covered with fire.
This judgment on Edom will never end;
the smoke of its burning will rise forever.
The land will lie deserted from generation to generation.
No one will live there anymore.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,
a year of retribution for the strife of Zion.
And its streams shall be changed to pitch and its soil to sulfur,
and its land shall become like burning pitch.
Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall be in ruins;
forever and ever there will be no one who passes through her.

From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
None shall pass through it for ever and ever.
