Isaiah 34:13 in Context — Isaiah 34

11 Y la poseerán el pelícano y el mochuelo, la lechuza y el cuervo morarán en ella: y extenderáse sobre ella cordel de destrucción, y niveles de asolamiento.

12 Llamarán á sus príncipes, príncipes sin reino: y todos sus grandes serán nada.

13 En sus alcázares crecerán espinas, y ortigas y cardos en sus fortalezas; y serán morada de chacales, patio para los pollos de los avestruces.

14 Y las bestias monteses se encontrarán con los gatos cervales, y el peludo gritará á su compañero: la lamia también tendrá allí asiento, y hallará para sí reposo.

15 Allí anidará el cuclillo, conservará [sus huevos], y sacará [sus pollos], y juntarálos debajo de sus alas: también se ayuntarán allí buitres, cada uno con su compañera.
