Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 34:13

"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." — Isaiah 34:13 (ASV)

An habitation of dragons, and a court for owls ... —The wild creatures named are identified, as elsewhere, with “jackals” (“wild dogs,” Delitzsch) and “ostriches.”
