Isaiah 13:20-22
Legacy Standard Bible
20 It will (A)never be inhabited or dwelt in from generation to generation;
Nor will the [a](B)Arab pitch his tent there,
Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
21 But (C)desert creatures will lie down there,
And their houses will be full of [b]owls;
Ostriches also will dwell there, and [c]shaggy goats will leap there.
22 [d]And hyenas will howl in their fortified towers
And jackals in their luxurious (D)palaces.
Her fateful time also [e]will soon come
And her days will not be prolonged.

Isaiah 34:10-15
Legacy Standard Bible
10 It will (A)not be quenched night or day;
Its (B)smoke will go up forever.
From (C)generation to generation it will be laid waste;
(D)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [a](E)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [b]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (F)line of utter formlessness
And the [c]plumb line of utter void.
12 Its nobles—there is (G)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be (H)non-existent.
13 And thorns will come up in its (I)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (J)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
14 And the desert (K)creatures will meet with the [d]wolves;
The [e](L)hairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Surely, the [f]night creature will obtain relief there
And will find itself a resting place.
15 The [g]owl will make its nest and find its escape there,
And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.
Surely, (M)the [h]falcons will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.

Malachi 1:3-4
Legacy Standard Bible
3 but I have hated Esau, and I have (A)set his mountains to be a desolation and his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Though Edom says, “We have been (B)demolished, but we will [a](C)return and build up the waste places”; thus says Yahweh of hosts, “They may (D)build, but I will pull down; and men will call them a [b]territory of wickedness, and the people [c]toward whom Yahweh is indignant (E)forever.”
