Isaiah 34:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And the rivers thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into [a]brimstone, and the land thereof shall be burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night nor day: the smoke thereof shall go up evermore: it shall be desolate from generation to generation; none shall pass through it forever.
11 But the pelican [b]and the hedgehog shall possess it, and the great owl, and the raven shall dwell in it, and he shall stretch out upon it the line of [c]vanity, and the stones of emptiness.

New International Version
9 Edom’s streams will be turned into pitch,
her dust into burning sulfur;(A)
her land will become blazing pitch!
10 It will not be quenched(B) night or day;
its smoke will rise forever.(C)
From generation to generation(D) it will lie desolate;(E)
no one will ever pass through it again.
11 The desert owl[a](F) and screech owl[b] will possess it;
the great owl[c] and the raven(G) will nest there.

the measuring line of chaos(I)
and the plumb line(J) of desolation.
