Isaiah 34:13

Judgment On The Nations

¹² Its nobles—there is no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be nothing.
¹³ Thorns will come up in its fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
¹⁴ The desert creatures will meet with the wolves,
The hairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Yes, the night monster will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.

And the remainder of My nation will inherit them.”
