Isaiah 34:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.

¹² The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.

¹³ And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches.
