Isaiah 34:9–15

⁹¹And its streams will be turned into pitch,

And its dust into ^abrimstone,

And its land will become burning pitch.

¹⁰It will ^anot be quenched night or day;

Its ^bsmoke will go up forever.

From ^cgeneration to generation it will be laid waste;

^dNone will pass through it forever and ever.

¹¹But ^1apelican and hedgehog will possess it,

And ²owl and raven will dwell in it;

And He will stretch over it the ^bline of utter formlessness

And the ³plumb line of utter void.

¹²Its nobles—there is ^ano one there

Whom they may proclaim king—

And all its princes will be ^bnon-existent.

¹³And thorns will come up in its ^afortified towers,

Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;

It will also be a haunt of ^bjackals

And an abode of ostriches.

¹⁴And the desert ^acreatures will meet with the ¹wolves;

The ^2bhairy goat also will cry to its kind;

Surely, the ³night creature will obtain relief there

And will find itself a resting place.

¹⁵The ¹owl will make its nest and find its escape there,

And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.

Surely, ^athe ²falcons will be gathered there,

Every one with its kind.
