Isaiah 34:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ ·Birds [Desert owls; or Pelicans] and ·small animals [screech owl; or porcupine] will own that land,
    and owls and ravens will live there.
·God [^LHe] will ·make it an empty wasteland [^Lstretch over it a measuring line of confusion/chaos];
    ·it will have nothing left in it [^Land the plumb line of desolation; ^Clike a careful craftsman, God has planned Edom’s judgment].
¹² The ·important people [nobles] will have ·no one left to rule them [or nothing to call a kingdom];
    the ·leaders [officials; princes] will ·all be gone [or be nothing].
¹³ Thorns will ·take over [overrun] the ·strong towers [strongholds; citadels],
    and wild bushes will grow in the ·walled cities [fortresses].
It will be a home for ·wild dogs [jackals]
    and a place for ·owls [or ostriches] to live.
