Isaiah 34:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,
and all her princes will come to nothing.
13 Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.(A)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode[a] for ostriches.(B)
14 The desert creatures will meet hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the screech owl will stay there
and will find a resting place for herself.

12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(A) will vanish(B) away.
13 Thorns(C) will overrun her citadels,
nettles and brambles her strongholds.(D)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(E)
a home for owls.(F)
14 Desert creatures(G) will meet with hyenas,(H)
and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(I) will also lie down
and find for themselves places of rest.
