Isaiah 34:9-11
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
9 And the streams of Edom[a] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulphur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day it shall not be quenched;
its smoke shall go up for ever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
no one shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 But the hawk[b] and the hedgehog[c] shall possess it;
the owl[d] and the raven shall live in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion over it,
and the plummet of chaos over[e] its nobles.
