Isaiah 34:11-13
American Standard Version
11 But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; and the [a]owl and the raven shall dwell therein: and he will stretch over it the line of confusion, and the [b]plummet of emptiness. 12 [c]They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there; and all its princes shall be nothing. 13 And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.

11 The desert owl[a](A) and screech owl[b] will possess it;

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.

She will become a haunt for jackals,(J)
a home for owls.(K)
