Isaiah 34:11-15

11 But ^{▼▼Or owl; or jackdaw
,} ^bpelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And ^{▼▼Or great horned owl}owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the ^dline of ^{▼▼Or formlessness}desolation
And the ^{▼▼Lit stones of void}plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles --there is ^gno one there
Whom they may proclaim king--
And all its officials will be ^hnothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its ⁱfortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^jjackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14 The desert ^kcreatures will meet with the ^{▼▼Or howling creatures}wolves,
The ^{▼▼Or goat demon
,} ⁿgoat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the ^{▼▼Or a demon; Heb Lilith}night-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its ^{▼▼Lit shade}protection.
Yes, ^qthe ^{▼▼Or kites}hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
