Isaiah 34:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 [a]Its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into (A)brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will (B)not be quenched night or day;
Its (C)smoke will go up forever.
From (D)generation to generation it will be desolate;
(E)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [b](F)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [c]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (G)line of [d]desolation
And the [e]plumb line of emptiness.
