11The pelican and the hedgehog will possess it, the owl and the raven will dwell there. He will stretch over it a measuring line of chaos and stones of emptiness.
12Its nobles will have no one there to call them a kingdom, and all its princes will come to nothing.
13Thorns will grow in its palaces, nettles and brambles in its fortresses. It will become a dwelling place for jackals, a home for ostriches.
14Wild beasts will meet with hyenas, and satyrs will call to one another. There, the night creature will settle and find her place of rest.
15There, the arrow snake will make her nest, lay eggs, hatch them, and care for her young in her shadow. Indeed, there the kites will gather, each one with its mate.
