Read Isaiah Chapter 34 Summary

God's wrath is upon all nations; their armies are devoted to destruction, mountains drenched with blood. Heaven's hosts dissolve; God's sword comes down upon Edom in a sacrifice at Bozrah. Edom becomes burning pitch, inhabited by owls, ravens, and wild beasts forever. Seek in the LORD's book: not one of these creatures shall be missing.
