Isaiah 13:21

21  But jwild animals will lie down there,

and their houses will be full of howling creatures;

there kostriches1 will dwell,

and there wild goats will dance.


Isaiah 34:14

14  qAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;

the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;

indeed, there the night bird1 settles

and finds for herself a resting place.


Jeremiah 50:39

39 eTherefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon,1 and ostriches shall dwell in her. She shall never again have people, nor be inhabited for all generations.


Jeremiah 51:37

37  and Babylon shall become ca heap of ruins,

dthe haunt of jackals,

ea horror eand a hissing,

without inhabitant.


Zephaniah 2:14–15

14  yHerds shall lie down in her midst,

all kinds of beasts;1

zeven the owl and the hedgehog2

shall lodge in her capitals;

a voice shall hoot in the window;

devastation will be on the threshold;

for aher cedar work will be laid bare.

15  This is the exultant city

bthat lived securely,

that said in her heart,

I am, and there is no one else.

What a desolation she has become,

ca lair for wild beasts!

dEveryone who passes by her

hisses and eshakes his fist.
