And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

The verse 9 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.

Da werden Edoms Bäche zu Pech werden und seine Erde zu Schwefel; ja sein Land wird zu brennendem Pech werden,
Y sus arroyos se tornarán en pez, y su polvo en azufre, y su tierra en pez ardiente.
Sus arroyos se convertirán en brea y su polvo en azufre; su tierra se convertirá en brea ardiente.
Les torrents d'Edom seront changés en poix, Et sa poussière en soufre; Et sa terre sera comme de la poix qui brûle.
E i torrenti di quella saranno convertiti in pece, e la sua polvere in zolfo, e la sua terra sarà cangiata in pece ardente.
E os seus ribeiros se tornarão em pez, e o seu pó em enxofre, e a sua terra em pez ardente.
它的河水要變為柏油, 塵埃變為硫磺, 大地成為燃燒的柏油,
