Isaiah 34:9-17

⁹ The streams of Edom will be filled with burning pitch, and the ground will be covered with fire. ¹⁰ This judgment on Edom will never end; the smoke of its burning will rise forever. The land will lie deserted from generation to generation. No one will live there anymore. ¹¹ It will be haunted by the desert owl and the screech owl, the great owl and the raven. 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. 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. ¹⁴ Desert animals will mingle there with hyenas, their howls filling the night. Wild goats will bleat at one another among the ruins, and night creatures will come there to rest. ¹⁵ There the owl will make her nest and lay her eggs. She will hatch her young and cover them with her wings. And the buzzards will come, each one with its mate. ¹⁶ Search the book of the Lord, and see what he will do. Not one of these birds and animals will be missing, and none will lack a mate, for the Lord has promised this. His Spirit will make it all come true. ¹⁷ He has surveyed and divided the land and deeded it over to those creatures. They will possess it forever, from generation to generation.
