Isaiah 13:20-22
New International Version
20 She will never be inhabited(A)
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads(B) will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatures(C) will lie there,
jackals(D) will fill her houses;
there the owls(E) will dwell,
and there the wild goats(F) will leap about.
22 Hyenas(G) will inhabit her strongholds,(H)
jackals(I) her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,(J)
and her days will not be prolonged.(K)

Zephaniah 2:9
New International Version
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,”
declares the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel,
“surely Moab(A) will become like Sodom,(B)
the Ammonites(C) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder(D) them;
the survivors(E) of my nation will inherit their land.(F)”
Zephaniah 2:13-15
New International Version
Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,(A)
leaving Nineveh(B) utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.(C)
14 Flocks and herds(D) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(E) and the screech owl(F)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
15 This is the city of revelry(G)
that lived in safety.(H)
She said to herself,
“I am the one! And there is none besides me.”(I)
What a ruin she has become,
a lair for wild beasts!(J)
All who pass by her scoff(K)
and shake their fists.(L)
Malachi 1:3
New International Version
3 but Esau I have hated,(A) and I have turned his hill country into a wasteland(B) and left his inheritance to the desert jackals.(C)”
