Isaiah 34:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Its streams shall be turned into pitch,
    and its dust into brimstone,
    and its land shall become burning pitch.
¹⁰ It shall not be quenched night or day;
    its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
    no one shall pass through it forever and ever.
¹¹ But the cormorant and the hedgehog shall possess it,
    the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it.
And He shall stretch out on it
    the line of desolation,
    and the plumb line of emptiness.
