8 Unto thee also, O Zion, shall come the day of the vengeance of God, and the year when thine own judgments shall be recompensed. 9 Thy floods shall be turned to pitch, and thine earth to brimstone, and therewith shall the land be kindled, 10 so that it shall not be quenched day nor night, but smoke evermore and so forth to lie waste. And no man shall go through thy land forever.
