Isaiah 34:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 34:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 which will not be extinguished night or day.
Its smoke will go up forever.
Generation after generation, it will lie in ruins.
No one will ever pass through it. Never again!
11 But the desert owl and the porcupine will live there.[a]
The screech owl and the raven will nest there.
God will stretch a measuring line for chaos over Edom,
and a plumb line for uninhabited ruins.[b]
12 There will be nothing left for its nobles to call a kingdom.
All its officials will be gone.
