Isaiah 34:11–12

11 The desert owl and screech owl will possess it;

the great owl and the raven will nest there.

God will stretch out over Edom

the measuring line of chaos

and the plumb line of desolation.

12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,

all her princes will vanish away.

11 But the hawk and the porcupine shall possess it,

the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.

He shall stretch the line of confusion over it,

and the plumb line of emptiness.

12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,

and all its princes shall be nothing.

11 It will be haunted by the desert owl and the screech owl,

the great owl and the raven.

For God will measure that land carefully;

he will measure it for chaos and destruction.

12 It will be called the Land of Nothing,

and all its nobles will soon be gone.

11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it,

Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.

And He shall stretch out over it

The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.

12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom,

But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.

11 Birds and small animals will own that land,

and owls and ravens will live there.

God will make it an empty wasteland;

it will have nothing left in it.

12 The important people will have no one left to rule them;

the leaders will all be gone.

11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the plummet of emptiness. 12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing.

11 And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness. 12 Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought.

11 Pelicans and herons will take possession of the land. 

Owls and crows will live there. 

He will stretch the measuring line of chaos 

and the plumb line of destruction over it. 

12 There are no nobles to rule a kingdom. 

All of its princes have disappeared. 

11 The desert owl and the screech owl will possess it,

and the great owl and the raven will dwell there.

The Lord will stretch out a measuring line

and a plumb line over her

for her destruction and chaos.

12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,

and all her princes will come to nothing.

11 But the desert owl and the screech owl shall possess it;

the great owl and the raven shall live in it.

He shall stretch the line of confusion

and the plummet of chaos over it.

12 They shall call its nobles No Kingdom There,

and all its princes shall be nothing.

11 But the large bird and the hedgehog shall take possession of it,

and the owl and the raven shall live in it.

And he shall stretch the measuring line of confusion out over it,

and the plumb line of emptiness.

12 Its nobles—but no kingdom is there—shall call,

and all its princes shall be nothing.

11 The desert owl and screech owl will make it their home.

The great owl and the raven will build their nests there.

God will use his measuring line

to show how completely Edom will be destroyed.

He will use his plumb line

to show how empty Edom will become.

12 Edom’s nobles won’t have anything left there

that can be called a kingdom.

All of its princes will vanish.

11 But pelican and hedgehog will possess it,

And owl and raven will dwell in it;

And He will stretch over it the line of desolation

And the plumb line of emptiness.

12 Its nobles—there is no one there

Whom they may proclaim king—

And all its princes will be nothing.
