Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

10 Night and day it shall not be quenched; for ever its smoke shall go up; from generation to generation it shall lie waste; for ever and ever there shall be none passing through it.

[*](4. ‘waste,’ or, ‘moulder away.)[*](7. ‘come ’ i.e. to slaughter: some take it ‘fall.)[*](8. Or, ‘to plead for ’)[*](10. Some rearrange the clauses, joining the adverbial phrase of each clause to the previous one, and leaving the last unqualified. Cf. Lxx.)

11 But the pelican and the bittern shall possess it; and the horned owl and the raven shall dwell in it; and he shall stretch out upon it the line of wasteness and the plummet of void.
