10 That fire will burn through the days and the nights.
    Its smoke will always continue to rise up.
The land will be empty from one century to the next.
    Nobody will ever travel through it again.
11 Owls, hawks and hedgehogs will live there,[a]
    as well as all kinds of wild animals and wild birds.
The Lord will carefully measure the whole land,
    so that he can destroy it.
It will become like an empty desert.
12 There will be no kingdom left for anyone to rule.
    Edom's leaders and officers will all disappear.

  1. 34:11 A hedgehog is a small animal that can hide in a bush.

10 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.

11 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.

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
