Isaiah 34:9-15

Edom’s rivers will be like hot tar. Its dirt will be like burning sulfur. Its land will be like burning tar. The fires will burn night and day; the smoke will rise from Edom forever. Year after year that land will be empty; no one will ever travel through that land again. Birds and small animals will own that land, and owls and ravens will live there. God will make it an empty wasteland; it will have nothing left in it. The important people will have no one left to rule them; the leaders will all be gone. Thorns will take over the strong towers, and wild bushes will grow in the walled cities. It will be a home for wild dogs and a place for owls to live. Desert animals will live with the hyenas, and wild goats will call to their friends. Night animals will live there and find a place of rest. Owls will nest there and lay eggs. When they hatch open, the owls will gather their young under their wings. Hawks will gather with their own kind.
