Isaiah 34:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ Eagle owls^[a] and herons^[b] will possess it,
and long-eared owls and ravens will dwell there.^(A)
The Lord will stretch out a measuring line
and a plumb line^(B) over her
for her destruction and chaos.^(C)
12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,
and all her princes will come to nothing.
¹³ Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.^(D)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode^[c] for ostriches.^(E)
