Isaiah 34:10-15
New American Standard Bible
10 It will (A)not be extinguished night or day;
Its (B)smoke will go up forever.
From (C)generation to generation it will be desolate;
(D)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [a](E)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [b]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (F)line of [c]desolation
And the [d]plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is (G)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its officials will be (H)nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its (I)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (J)jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14 The desert (K)creatures will meet with the [e]wolves,
The [f](L)goat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the [g]night-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its [h]protection.
Yes, (M)the [i]hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.

Jeremiah 51:37-43
New American Standard Bible
37 (A)Babylon will become a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals,
An (B)object of horror and hissing, without inhabitants.
38 They will roar together like (C)young lions,
They will growl like lions’ cubs.
39 When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet
And (D)make them drunk, so that they may rejoice in triumph,
And may (E)sleep a perpetual sleep
And not wake up,” declares the Lord.
40 “I will bring them down like [a]lambs (F)to the slaughter,
Like rams together with male goats.
41 “How [b](G)Sheshak has been captured,
And (H)the praise of the whole earth has been seized!
How Babylon has become an object of horror among the nations!
42 The [c](I)sea has come up over Babylon;
She has been engulfed by its roaring waves.
43 Her cities have become an (J)object of horror,
A dry land and a desert,
A land in which (K)no one lives
And through which no [d]one of mankind passes.

37 Babylon will be a heap of ruins,
a haunt(A) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,(B)
a place where no one lives.(C)
38 Her people all roar like young lions,(D)
they growl like lion cubs.

I will set out a feast for them
and make them drunk,(E)
so that they shout with laughter—
then sleep forever(F) and not awake,”
declares the Lord.(G)

like lambs to the slaughter,
like rams and goats.(H)

the boast of the whole earth seized!
How desolate(K) Babylon will be
among the nations!
42 The sea will rise over Babylon;
its roaring waves(L) will cover her.
43 Her towns will be desolate,
a dry and desert(M) land,
a land where no one lives,
through which no one travels.(N)
