Isaiah 34:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it;
the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it:
and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion,
and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom,
but none shall be there,
and all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces,
nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof:
and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
Isaiah 34:11-13
New International Version
11 The desert owl[a](A) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(B) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom(C)
the measuring line of chaos(D)
and the plumb line(E) of desolation.
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(F) will vanish(G) away.
13 Thorns(H) will overrun her citadels,
nettles and brambles her strongholds.(I)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(J)
a home for owls.(K)
