8That’s because the Lord has set aside a day to pay Edom back.

He has set aside a year to pay them back for what they did to the city of Zion.

9The streams of Edom will be turned into tar.

Its dust will be turned into blazing sulfur.

Its land will become burning tar.

10The fire will keep burning night and day.

It can’t be put out.

Its smoke will go up forever.

Edom will lie empty for all time to come.

No one will ever travel through it again.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance,

And the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.

And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch,

And the dust thereof into brimstone,

And the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

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.
