Isaiah 34:13-17
13 aThorns shall grow over its strongholds,nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of bjackals,
an abode for ostriches. ▼
▼Or owls
14 dAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird ▼
▼Identity uncertain
settlesand finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there fthe hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 gHe has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
