Isaiah 34:13
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
KJV
Et orientur in domibus ejus spinæ et urticæ, et paliurus in munitionibus ejus ; et erit cubile draconum, et pascua struthionum.
Vulgate
καὶ ἀναφύσει εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ἀκάνθινα ξύλα καὶ εἰς τὰ ὀχυρώματα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔσται ἐπαύλεις σειρήνων καὶ αὐλὴ στρουθῶν·
LXX
And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in the fortresses thereof; and it shall be a habitation of jackals, a court for ostriches.
