Iz 34, 1-17

1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. 2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. 3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. 5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea. 7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. 8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. 9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 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. 16 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. 17 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.

Verš 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.

Zjv 14:11 - And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Zjv 19:3 - And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Verš 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.

Iz 13:21 - But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

Sof 2:14 - And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.

Zjv 18:2 - And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Verš 4

And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

Zjv 6:13 - And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Verš 6

The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

Iz 63:1 - Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Iz 34,1 - Hlavy 34 a 35 sú posledné hlavy prvej časti proroctiev Izaiášových; hl. 36 a 37 sú len historické dodatky, písané prózou. Predmetom hl. 34 je súd nad celým svetom. Hlavne sa spomína potrestanie Edomu, ktorý je tu predstaviteľom všetkých nepriateľov Božieho kráľovstva na zemi. Hl. 35 hovorí o konečnej spáse dobrých.

Iz 34,4 - Boh pri stvorení roztiahol, rozvinul nebeskú oblohu, pri súde ju zase zvinie ako knihu, pričom hviezdy (vojsko nebies) opršia z nej ako lístie zo stromu. – Knihy starých dôb boli zvitky; látka, na ktorej boli napísané, nakrútila sa na paličku ako dnešné rolety. Keď chceli čítať, rozvinuli knihu, po čítaní zas ju zvinuli. Písalo sa spravidla len na jednu, vnútornú stranu. Pozri však Ez 2,10.

Iz 34,5 - O Edomčanoch pozri pozn. k 16,1; porov. 21,11–12.

Iz 34,6 - Bozra, hlavné mesto Edomska, je asi dnešná Buseira južne od Mŕtveho mora. Iní ju stotožňujú s mestom Petra (16,1).

Iz 34,8 - Trest príde za to, čo nepriatelia popáchali proti Božiemu kráľovstvu na zemi, proti Sionu.

Iz 34,9 - Zničenie Edomska opisuje sa podobne ako spustošenie blízkej Sodomy a Gomory (Gn 19,24.25.28).

Iz 34,12 - Tento verš je neistý. Jeho zmysel je asi takýto: v edomskej krajine nebude viac bývať šľachta a kráľovstvo Edomčanov zaniklo.

Iz 34,14 - Na osamelých a spustošených miestach si ľudia predstavujú strigy a mátohy. Prorok ich v básnickom opísaní spomína len preto, aby čo najviac znázornil spustnutosť Edomu.

Iz 34,16 - Izraeliti si kedysi povrázkom rozmerali a žrebom rozdelili zasľúbenú zem. Podobne dal Boh rozličným zvieratám za údel krajinu Edomčanov. Pravda, i to je len básnické líčenie.
