Isaiah 34:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ It will be haunted by the desert owl and the screech owl,
    the great owl and the raven.^[a]
For God will measure that land carefully;
    he will measure it for chaos and destruction.
¹² It will be called the Land of Nothing,
    and all its nobles will soon be gone.^[b]
13 Thorns will overrun its palaces;
    nettles and thistles will grow in its forts.
The ruins will become a haunt for jackals
    and a home for owls.
