Isaia 34:13 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 34:13

And thorns shall come up in her palaces
Where their kings and princes dwelt, and kept their courts, popes and cardinals; here will be the tokens of God's curse, as thorns are, these being the people of his curse, as in ( Isaiah 34:5 ) : nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof;
alluding to "Bozrah" which signifies a fortress; referring to the towers and fortifications of the city of Rome, and all other fortified cities within its jurisdiction: and it shall be a habitation of dragons;
literally, as it figuratively had been the seat of the old dragon, the devil, and of the beast to whom the dragon gave his power, seat, and authority; and who, though he looked like a lamb, spoke like a dragon, ( Revelation 12:3 ) ( Revelation 13:2 Revelation 13:11 ) : [and] a court for owls;
or, "daughters of the owl"; or "ostriches", as some render it.

Isaia 34:13 In-Context

11 E il pellicano e la civetta la possederanno; e la nottola, e il corvo; e il Signore stenderà sopra essa il regolo della desolazione, e il livello del disertamento.
12 Il regno chiamerà i nobili di essa, e non ve ne sarà quivi più alcuno, e tutti i suoi principi saran mancati.
13 Le spine cresceranno ne’ suoi palazzi; e l’ortica e il cardo nelle sue fortezze; ed essa sarà un ricetto di sciacalli, un cortile di ulule.
14 E quivi si scontreranno le fiere de’ deserti co’ gufi; ed un demonio griderà all’altro; quivi eziandio si poserà l’uccello della notte e si troverà luogo di riposo.
15 Quivi si anniderà il serpente e partorirà le sue uova, e le farà spicciare, covandole alla propria ombra; quivi eziandio si raduneranno gli avvoltoi l’un con l’altro.
