Isaiah 34:10-13

^{Tools
10}

It will ^(A)not be quenched night or day;
Its ^(B)smoke will go up forever.
From ^(C)generation to generation it will be desolate;
^(D)None will pass through it forever and ever.

^{Tools
11}

But ^(a)^(E)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And ^(b)owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the ^(F)line of ^(c)desolation
And the ^(d)plumb line of emptiness.

Its nobles—there is ^(G)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be ^(H)nothing.

^{Tools
13}

Thorns will come up in its ^(I)fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(J)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
