EHV Bible
Isaiah 34:13-15
EHV Bible
13 Thorns will cover its citadels.
Thistles and briers will overgrow its fortresses.
It will be a den of jackals,
a haunt for ostriches.
14 Desert animals and hyenas will gather,
and wild goats[a] will bleat to each other.
Creatures of the night[b] will settle there
and find a resting place.
15 An owl[c] will nest there.
She will lay eggs, hatch them,
and gather her young under her shade.
Falcons will gather there too,
each with its mate.
