10. Night and day it shall not be quenched,its smoke shall rise forever.From generation to generation it shall lie waste,never again shall anyone pass through it.
11. But the desert owl and hoot owl shall possess it,the screech owl and raven shall dwell in it.The Lord will stretch over it the measuring line of chaos,the plumb line of confusion.
12. Its nobles shall be no more,nor shall kings be proclaimed there;all its princes are gone.
13. Its castles shall be overgrown with thorns,its fortresses with thistles and briers.It shall become an abode for jackals,a haunt for ostriches.
14. Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts,satyrs shall call to one another;There shall the lilith repose,and find for herself a place to rest.
15. There the hoot owl shall nest and lay eggs,hatch them out and gather them in her shadow;There shall the kites assemble,each with its mate.
