  • Descrição: Isaiah 34 calls the nations to come near to receive the devastating judgment of God. The nations will face "a day of vengeance and a year of vindication" (34:8) with cosmic consequences: mountains soaked in blood, verdant life withering and overtaken by desolate dessert, and the heavens (stars and sky) rolled up and dissolving. From the "mouth of the Lord" (34:16) comes the power to give or take life. With this announcement sources of life are compromised, pathways are closed, and thorns and scavenging creatures overtake the land which is described as "burning sulfur" - and expression calling to mind God's wrath toward Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord's word accomplishes this destruction, a horrific day of vengeance on behalf of Zion that is, in part, framed in terms of the offerings made in cultic sacrifice (34:6-7). While Isaiah 34 paints a picture of bad news for those ancient nations who stand in opposition to God, the passage comprises half of a salvation oracle for Israel. Packaged together with chapter 35, the more hopeful aspect of this message of return and redemption, the two chapters are viewed by most commentators as belonging together, serving as a kind of transition between First and Second Isaiah, portions of the book that address different social situations for Israel. The vindication of Zion through both destruction in chapter 34 and the abundant life and rejoicing in chapter 35 are two parts of the same message.
