Psalm 102:6

Affliction In Light Of Eternity

⁵ Because of the loudness of my groaning
My bones cling to my flesh.
⁶ I resemble a pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the waste places.
⁷ I lie awake,
I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop.

In the Wilderness

In The Desert

Zephaniah 2:14

Flocks will lie down in her midst,
All beasts which range in herds;
Both the pelican and the hedgehog
Will lodge in the tops of her pillars;
Birds will sing in the window,
Desolation will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.

Job 30:29-30

“I have become a brother to jackals
And a companion of ostriches.

But pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the line of desolation
And the plumb line of emptiness.

Isaiah 38:14

“Like a swallow, like a crane, so I twitter;
I moan like a dove;
My eyes look wistfully to the heights;
O Lord, I am oppressed, be my security.

Micah 1:8

Because of this I must lament and wail,
I must go barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.

And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.
