Judgment and the Wilderness Inheritance · Isaiah 34

9Her wadis will be turned into pitch, and her dust into sulfur; her land will become burning pitch.

10Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; forever and ever no one shall pass through it.

11The desert owl and the hedgehog will possess her, and the owl and the raven will dwell in her; he will stretch over her the measuring line of desolation and the plumb stones of emptiness.

12They will call its nobles, but there will be no kingdom there, and all its princes will be nothing.
