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.

The verse 17 is found in chapter 34 of Isaiah. Yahweh’s judgment extends over the nations, with Edom as a prominent representation of the enemy. The imagery of sacrifice and devastation turns judgment into a solemn and comprehensive scene. Against human powers, only Yahweh’s word remains firm: his sentence has been spoken and will be fulfilled.

Er wirft das Los für sie, und seine Hand teilt das Maß aus unter sie, daß sie darin erben ewiglich und darin bleiben für und für.
Y él les echó las suertes, y su mano les repartió con cordel: para siempre la tendrán por heredad, de generación en generación morarán allí.
Il a jeté pour eux le sort, Et sa main leur a partagé cette terre au cordeau, Ils la posséderont toujours, Ils l'habiteront d'âge en âge.
Ed egli stesso ha loro tratta la sorte, e la sua mano ha loro spartita quello terra col regolo; essi la possederanno in perpetuo, ed abiteranno in essa per ogni età
Porque ele mesmo lançou as sortes por elas, e sua mão lhas tens repartido com o cordel; para sempre a possuirão, de geração em geração habitarão nela.
他為牠們抽籤, 親手用準繩為牠們分地; 直到牠們永遠得地為業, 世世代代住在其間。
