Isaiah 34:10-12
New Catholic Bible
10 Night or day it will never be quenched;
its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation it will lie waste;
never again will anyone pass through it.
11 But the hawk and the hedgehog will possess it;
the owl and the raven will dwell in it.
The Lord will stretch out over it
the measuring line of chaos
and the plumb line of desolation.
12 There will be no more nobles there
to proclaim the king;
all of its princes will have vanished.
Isaiah 34:10-12

its smoke will rise forever.(B)
From generation to generation(C) it will lie desolate;(D)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](E) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(F) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(G)
the measuring line of chaos(H)
and the plumb line(I) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(J) will vanish(K) away.
