Isaiah 34:13 in Context — Isaiah 34

11 Le pélican et le hérisson la posséderont, La chouette et le corbeau l’habiteront. On y étendra le cordeau de la désolation, Et le niveau de la destruction.

12 Il n’y aura plus de grands pour proclamer un roi, Tous ses princes seront anéantis.

13 Les épines croîtront dans ses palais, Les ronces et les chardons dans ses forteresses. Ce sera la demeure des chacals, Le repaire des autruches;

14 Les animaux du désert y rencontreront les chiens sauvages, Et les boucs s’y appelleront les uns les autres; Là le spectre de la nuit aura sa demeure, Et trouvera son lieu de repos;

15 Là le serpent fera son nid, déposera ses œufs, Les couvera, et recueillera ses petits à son ombre; Là se rassembleront tous les vautours.
