Isaiah 34:11-13
New Life Version
11 But the pelican and hedgehog will have it for their own. The owl and raven will live in it. The Lord will make it into an empty waste land. 12 Its rulers will be gone. And no kings will be named there. All their rulers will be no more. 13 Thorns will grow in its strong towers. Thistles will grow in cities where battles were fought. It will be a place for wild dogs, and a home for ostriches.

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)
