Isaiah 34:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ But ^[a](A)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And ^[b]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the ^(B)line of ^[c]desolation
And the ^[d]plumb line of emptiness.
¹² Its nobles—there is ^(C)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be ^(D)nothing.
¹³ Thorns will come up in its ^(E)fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(F)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
