20 It will (A)never be inhabited or dwelt in from generation to generation;
Nor will the [a](B)Arab pitch his tent there,
Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

And their houses will be full of [b]owls;
Ostriches also will dwell there, and [c]shaggy goats will leap there.

And jackals in their luxurious (D)palaces.
Her fateful time also [e]will soon come
And her days will not be prolonged.
