Isaiah 34:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Screech owls and crows will possess it;
    owls and ravens will live there.^[a]
God will stretch over it the measuring line of chaos
    and the plummet stone of emptiness over its officials.
¹² No Kingdom There, they will call it,
    and all its princes will disappear.
¹³ Thorns will grow up in its palaces,
    weeds and brambles in its fortresses.
It will be a dwelling for jackals,
    a home for ostriches.
