Isaiah 34:13-15
International Standard Version
13 Thorns will grow over its palaces,
nettles and brambles its fortresses.
It will become a haunt for jackals,
a home for ostriches.
14 And desert creatures will meet with hyenas,
and goat-demons will call out to each other.
There also Liliths[a] will settle,
and find for themselves[b] a resting place.
15 Owls[c] will nest there, lay eggs,
hatch them, and care for their young
under the shadow of their wings;[d]
yes[e] indeed, vultures will gather there,
each one with its mate.”
