Isaiah 34 (WEBP)

[1] Come near, you nations, to hear! Listen, you peoples. Let the earth and all it contains hear, the world, and everything that comes from it.
[2] For Yahweh is enraged against all the nations, and angry with all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them. He has given them over for slaughter.
[3] Their slain will also be cast out, and the stench of their dead bodies will come up. The mountains will melt in their blood.
[4] All of the army of the sky will be dissolved. The sky will be rolled up like a scroll, and all its armies will fade away, as a leaf fades from off a vine or a fig tree.
[5] For my sword has drunk its fill in the sky. Behold, it will come down on Edom, and on the people of my curse, for judgment.
[6] Yahweh’s sword is filled with blood. It is covered with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
[7] The wild oxen will come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty bulls; and their land will be drunken with blood, and their dust made greasy with fat.
[8] For Yahweh has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
[9] Its streams will be turned into pitch, its dust into sulfur, and its land will become burning pitch.
[10] It won’t be quenched night or day. Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation, it will lie waste. No one will pass through it forever and ever.
[11] But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.
[12] They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.
[13] Thorns will come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it will be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
[14] The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves, and the wild goat will cry to his fellow. Yes, the night creature shall settle there, and shall find herself a place of rest.
[15] The arrow snake will make her nest there, and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade. Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
[16] Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.
[17] He has cast the lot for them, and his hand has divided it to them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever. From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

Isaiah 34:14 Literally, lilith, which could also be a night demon or night monster

Isaiah 34 (BYZ)

[1] προσαγαγετε εθνη και ακουσατε αρχοντες ακουσατω η γη και οι εν αυτη η οικουμενη και ο λαος ο εν αυτη
[2] διοτι θυμος κυριου επι παντα τα εθνη και οργη επι τον αριθμον αυτων του απολεσαι αυτους και παραδουναι αυτους εις σφαγην
[3] οι δε τραυματιαι αυτων ριφησονται και οι νεκροι και αναβησεται αυτων η οσμη και βραχησεται τα ορη απο του αιματος αυτων
[4] και ελιγησεται ο ουρανος ως βιβλιον και παντα τα αστρα πεσειται ως φυλλα εξ αμπελου και ως πιπτει φυλλα απο συκης
[5] εμεθυσθη η μαχαιρα μου εν τω ουρανω ιδου επι την ιδουμαιαν καταβησεται και επι τον λαον της απωλειας μετα κρισεως
[6] η μαχαιρα κυριου ενεπλησθη αιματος επαχυνθη απο στεατος αρνων και απο στεατος τραγων και κριων οτι θυσια κυριω εν βοσορ και σφαγη μεγαλη εν τη ιδουμαια
[7] και συμπεσουνται οι αδροι μετ αυτων και οι κριοι και οι ταυροι και μεθυσθησεται η γη απο του αιματος και απο του στεατος αυτων εμπλησθησεται
[8] ημερα γαρ κρισεως κυριου και ενιαυτος ανταποδοσεως κρισεως σιων
[9] και στραφησονται αυτης αι φαραγγες εις πισσαν και η γη αυτης εις θειον και εσται αυτης η γη καιομενη ως πισσα
[10] νυκτος και ημερας και ου σβεσθησεται εις τον αιωνα χρονον και αναβησεται ο καπνος αυτης ανω εις γενεας ερημωθησεται και εις χρονον πολυν
[11] και κατοικησουσιν εν αυτη ορνεα και εχινοι και ιβεις και κορακες και επιβληθησεται επ αυτην σπαρτιον γεωμετριας ερημου και ονοκενταυροι οικησουσιν εν αυτη
[12] οι αρχοντες αυτης ουκ εσονται οι γαρ βασιλεις αυτης και οι αρχοντες αυτης και οι μεγιστανες αυτης εσονται εις απωλειαν
[13] και αναφυσει εις τας πολεις αυτων ακανθινα ξυλα και εις τα οχυρωματα αυτης και εσται επαυλις σειρηνων και αυλη στρουθων
[14] και συναντησουσιν δαιμονια ονοκενταυροις και βοησουσιν ετερος προς τον ετερον εκει αναπαυσονται ονοκενταυροι ευρον γαρ αυτοις αναπαυσιν
[15] εκει ενοσσευσεν εχινος και εσωσεν η γη τα παιδια αυτης μετα ασφαλειας εκει ελαφοι συνηντησαν και ειδον τα προσωπα αλληλων
[16] αριθμω παρηλθον και μια αυτων ουκ απωλετο ετερα την ετεραν ουκ εζητησαν οτι κυριος ενετειλατο αυτοις και το πνευμα αυτου συνηγαγεν αυτας
[17] και αυτος επιβαλει αυτοις κληρους και η χειρ αυτου διεμερισεν βοσκεσθαι εις τον αιωνα χρονον κληρονομησετε εις γενεας γενεων αναπαυσονται επ αυτης
