Isaiah 34:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 The streams of Edom will be turned into pitch
and her soil into sulfur;
her land will become burning pitch.[a]
10 Night or day it will never be quenched;
its smoke will rise forever.
From generation to generation it will lie waste;
never again will anyone pass through it.
11 But the hawk and the hedgehog will possess it;
the owl and the raven will dwell in it.
The Lord will stretch out over it
the measuring line of chaos
and the plumb line of desolation.
