Isaiah 34:12-14

New Living Translation

¹² It will be called the Land of Nothing,
    and all its nobles will soon be gone.^[a]
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^[b] will come there to rest.
