Isaiah 34:11

Judgment On The Nations

¹⁰ It will not be quenched night or day;
Its smoke will go up forever.
From generation to generation it will be desolate;
None will pass through it forever and ever.
¹¹ 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.
¹² Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.

For He has laid bare the cedar work.
