The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 34:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Thorns shall come up in her palaces. The "palaces" of Bozrah are mentioned also by Amos (Amos 1:12), and are threatened with destruction by fire. Amid their ruins should grow up thorns and briars. It shall be an habitation of dragons; or, of jackals (see the comment on Isaiah 13:22).

Owls; literally, daughters of screaming—a description better suited to the owl than to the ostrich, which some regard as the bird meant.
